Ingredients You’ll Need
This Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe calls for a handful of straightforward ingredients that pack a punch of flavor and ease. Each one plays a key role in balancing texture and taste to deliver those perfectly golden, indulgent waffles.
- Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits (8-count): These flaky, buttery biscuits are the base of our waffle, providing that irresistible tender crumb and perfect crispness when cooked in a waffle iron.
- Sugar (1/2 cup): Sweetens the dish to the ideal level, helping create that irresistible cinnamon-sugar coating after cooking.
- Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon): Adds warmth and spice, the essential partner to sugar that brings this recipe’s comforting flavor combo to life.
- Nonstick cooking spray: Keeps your waffle iron clean and ensures each biscuit waffle comes out perfectly without sticking.
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by preheating your waffle iron and spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Next, in a medium bowl, combine your sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing them thoroughly. This simple blend will become the sweet, fragrant coating for your waffles.
Step 2: Stretch the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuits and separate them carefully. Gently stretch each biscuit to about 4 to 5 inches across. This step ensures your waffles will be the perfect size and thickness, giving you that ideal crisp exterior once cooked.
Step 3: Cook the Biscuits in the Waffle Iron
Place a stretched biscuit directly in the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the waffle turns a beautiful golden brown. The waffle iron seals in the layers while crisping the edges deliciously.
Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Remove the cooked biscuit waffle and immediately toss it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing slightly so the sugar sticks and melts into the warm surface. This coating ensures every bite bursts with flavor and delightful texture.
Step 5: Repeat and Keep Warm
Continue cooking the remaining biscuits using the same method. To keep your waffle feast warm, place finished waffles in a low oven while you get the rest done, so you can serve them piping hot and fresh.
How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe
Garnishes
While the cinnamon sugar coating is a showstopper on its own, adding a pat of butter on top can create a luscious melt that elevates each bite. For a fresh contrast, sprinkle with some sliced strawberries or a dusting of powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
Side Dishes
This recipe pairs amazingly with classic breakfast sides like scrambled eggs or crispy bacon. For a sweeter spread, consider cream cheese or a drizzle of maple syrup to balance the cinnamon sugar flavors perfectly.
Creative Ways to Present
Try stacking several cinnamon sugar biscuit waffles with layers of whipped cream and fresh fruit for an impressive brunch centerpiece. Or cut the waffles into bite-sized pieces and serve them as a fun snack with a sweet dip, like vanilla yogurt or chocolate sauce.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftover cinnamon sugar biscuit waffles, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. This helps maintain their texture and flavor so you can enjoy them later without losing the magic.
Freezing
These waffles freeze beautifully. Place cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. This makes it easy to always have a sweet breakfast option ready to go.
Reheating
To reheat, pop the waffles in a toaster or toaster oven until warm and crispy again. You can also warm them in the oven set at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes. This quick step restores their freshly made texture and keeps that cinnamon sugar coating delightful.
FAQs
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of canned ones?
Absolutely! While canned biscuits keep this recipe super quick, using homemade biscuits adds a personal homemade touch and can deepen the flavor. Just make sure they aren’t too thick so they cook evenly in the waffle iron.
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
Yes! The Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe is a favorite with kids because it’s sweet but not overwhelming, fun to eat, and quick to make. Plus, you can get them involved in stretching the biscuits or mixing cinnamon sugar.
Can I add toppings like nuts or chocolate chips?
Definitely! Sprinkling in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the sugar mixture before coating can add texture and variety. Just be sure not to overload the waffle to keep it cooking evenly.
How do I prevent the waffles from sticking to the iron?
Lightly spraying your waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray before each biscuit is key. Also, make sure the iron is fully heated before adding the biscuits; this helps create a crispy outer layer that releases easily.
What drinks pair well with this Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe?
This recipe pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee, a creamy latte, or even a glass of cold milk for the kids. The sweet, spicy flavors complement a variety of beverages making any morning feel special.
