    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.

    Oven Baked Pancake Bites with Whisky Maple Syrup. They look like cupcakes and taste like pancakes. The perfect treat for breakfast.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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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.

    For the Brown Sugar Butter Syrup

    • โ…“ cup dark brown sugar
    • โ…› cup milk
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 2 tablespoon salted butter

    For the Waffles

    • 1 stick butter
    • 1 ยฝ cups full fat milk
    • ยผ cup water
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 ยฝ cups plain flour
    • ยฝ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ยผ teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    For the Brown Sugar Butter Syrup

    • Place the brown sugar, milk, water and butter into a small pan.
    • Place over a low heat and allow the butter and sugar to melt.
    • Let the syrup bubble for 5 minutes until thick and gloss. Turn the heat off, but leave in the pan. Set aside.

    For the Waffles

    • Put the butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until just melted.
    • Measure the milk and water out into a jug, add the butter and eggs and whisk to combine..
    • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to the milk mixture then whisk until well mixed.
    • Pre-heat your waffle machine. (see notes)
    • Use a ยฝ cup measure to scoop your batter into each section of the waffle machine.
    • Cook for 3 minutes until golden.
    • Remove from the machine and place in the oven to keep warm whilst you finish the cooking.

    Notes

    I have a Kenwood waffle machine. It doesn't have a variable temperature, just on or off. As all machines are different the cooking time will vary by brand. I would suggest starting with a medium heat and checking the pancakes after 2 minutes.

        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 ๐Ÿ™‚

      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!

      Brown sugar butter syrup sounds earthy and creamy at the same time. And soft, chewy and exterior crisp on the waffles...mmmm!!!

        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!
