Waffles with Brown Sugar Butter Syrup. Soft, fluffy waffles drizzled generously in a rich brown sugar butter syrup. Perfect for a special brunch.
These Waffles with a Brown Sugar Butter Sauce are our weekend treat. The waffles are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And the brown sugar butter sauce is good enough to eat with a spoon!
I first published these Waffles with Brown Sugar Butter Sauce back in August 2015. But they are such a loved recipe that we eat them at least once a month! So I have boosted the recipe back to the top of my blog, so you can love it too.
I love Saturday morning, the boys get up and play, I can wake up slowly, get them some fruit, make a coffee and then sit in bed catching up on my favourite blogs or like I did this morning, spend an hour on pinterest trying to find the perfect look for our new house. (If you want to see the progress of Rickety Cottage mark II, then check out my Instagram feed)
Then when everyone is fully awake, we can have a leisurely breakfast. This is usually something sweet as the boys have eggs most school day mornings. (I have got scrambled eggs on toast down to 4 minutes). Think pancakes, waffles and cinnamon buns. Today I promised the boys waffles, soft fluffy waffles.

These waffles are soft inside and crispy on the outside. When you first cook them, you will think they are too soft, but as they rest they firm up leaving you with the perfect crispy and fluffy waffle.
Then you can drizzle them with brown sugar butter syrup. Yes you heard correctly. Brown sugar butter syrup.
This syrup tastes amazing. The name says it all, the rich molasses taste of brown sugar melded with the creamy buttery taste of butter 😉
It is the perfect match for waffles, but if you don't have a waffle machine then you could use the brown sugar butter syrup on pancakes.
It is wonderful poured over my Pancake Bites. They look like cupcakes and taste like pancakes. And what is more they are cooked in the oven.

How does that little bit of syrup make 10 servings?
Claire McEwen says
Hi Suzanne,
The 10 waffles is usually enough for my family, and I find we always have enough syrup, but feel free to double the amount if you like extra syrup 🙂

I always get waffles when I stay at cure bed & breakfast places, it seems so appropriate to have some, but OMG that homemade sauce sounds so good, I would pour it on everything!
Claire McEwen says
Waffles are the best aren't they? I was so excited when I got my waffle maker!!! I love it.
I may have eaten the sauce with a spoon....although no one, saw so there is no hard evidence 😉
Nagi@RecipeTinEats says

It is my favourite way to enjoy waffles, well certain when they are for breakfast. I love the cakier Belgium ones, but for breakfast I want soft, fluffy but with a bit of crisp. And butter just makes everything better!

Wow, these just look so incredible.. esp the syrup pouring onto the waffles is just so awesome
Claire McEwen says
Thank you Fareeha. I may have used my finger to scrape the remaining syrup out of the jug 😳
