Serves 12
Prep time:
Inactive time: 45 minutes
Ingredients for Waffles
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup unsalted butter
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
Ingredients for the Filling
1 1/2 cups dark molasses
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
For the waffles: Dissolve yeast in warm water. Using the paddle attachment, cut the butter and flour. Mix in the cinnamon, sugar, eggs and yeast until fully incorporated into a large dough ball. Allow the dough to rest for about 45 minutes.
Roll the dough into 12 balls and press each ball into a preheated nonstick pizzelle iron and bake for 30 seconds or until the iron stops releasing steam. Remove carefully and split each waffle in half while it’s still warm. Spread the filling inside and place halves back together
For the filling: Heat the molasses, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to blend, and set aside.
