Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 whole egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- 1
Mix flour, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a bowl until a thick dough forms.
- 2
Heat a waffle iron on medium-high. Lightly butter both sides of the plates.
- 3
Place 2 tbsp dough on the center of the bottom plate. Close and cook until golden brown, ~3 minutes.
- 4
Remove waffle onto a cutting board. Repeat with remaining dough until you have 8 waffles.
- 5
While waffles cool slightly, melt 4 tbsp butter with 0.5 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until glossy, ~2 minutes.
- 6
Cut each waffle in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread caramel on the bottom half.
- 7
Place the top half over the caramel. The heat will soften the waffle and let the caramel ooze out. Serve warm.
