Ingredients You’ll Need
The beauty of this Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe lies in its simplicity. Each ingredient plays a crucial role, bringing together a perfect harmony of flavor, texture, and that inviting golden hue.
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits (8-count): These pre-made biscuits provide the flaky layers and structure needed for light, airy waffles.
- 1/2 cup sugar: Sweetness that balances the warm cinnamon and adds a delightful crust when it caramelizes slightly.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Adds that signature spicy warmth that makes these waffles crave-worthy and comforting.
- Nonstick cooking spray: Ensures those biscuits slide off the waffle iron easily without sticking to the surface.
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe
Step 1: Prepare Your Waffle Iron and Cinnamon Sugar
Start by heating your waffle iron and lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. While it warms up, mix your sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. This mixture will add both sweetness and that delightful spice to your waffles immediately after cooking.
Step 2: Stretch the Biscuits
Carefully open the biscuit can and separate each biscuit. Gently stretch each piece until it measures about 4 to 5 inches across. This helps the biscuit fit perfectly in the waffle iron and ensures a crispier texture from edge to edge.
Step 3: Cook the Biscuit Waffles
Place one stretched biscuit in the center of the preheated waffle iron and close it gently but firmly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the waffle turns a beautiful golden brown. The timing might vary slightly depending on your waffle iron, so keep an eye out for that perfect color.
Step 4: Coat the Waffles with Cinnamon Sugar
Once cooked, immediately remove the waffle and drop it into your cinnamon sugar bowl. Toss it gently but thoroughly so the warm waffle is fully coated, pressing slightly to help the sugar stick. This step ensures every bite bursts with cinnamon-sweet goodness.
Step 5: Keep Warm and Repeat
If you’re making a batch, keep the finished waffles warm in a low oven while you repeat the cooking and coating for the rest. This keeps them crispy outside and warm all the way through.
How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe
Garnishes
For an extra touch of decadence, sprinkle your waffles with a dusting of powdered sugar or add a pat of butter that slowly melts into the warm biscuit. Fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or a handful of blueberries can provide a bright, juicy contrast to the sweetness.
Side Dishes
This Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe pairs beautifully with crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty breakfast. For a lighter option, serve alongside a bowl of creamy yogurt or a small fruit salad to balance those warm, sweet flavors.
Creative Ways to Present
Try stacking two or three waffle biscuits with layers of whipped cream or mascarpone cheese and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a dessert-style treat. Or turn them into fun mini sandwich waffles by adding a layer of nut butter and banana slices between two pieces!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover cinnamon sugar biscuit waffles, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They’ll remain flavorful but may lose some crispness, so reheating is key.
Freezing
These waffles freeze wonderfully. Place cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They keep well for up to 2 months, making them perfect for meal prep or quick breakfasts.
Reheating
Reheat frozen or stored waffles in a toaster or toaster oven for the best crispness, usually 2 to 4 minutes depending on your appliance. Microwaving is faster but may result in soggier waffles—so save that method for a last resort.
FAQs
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?
Absolutely! While canned biscuits make this recipe super quick, homemade biscuit dough can work wonderfully too, adding a personal touch and the possibility of tweaking flavors.
What if I don’t have a waffle iron?
Without a waffle iron, you can bake the stretched biscuits in the oven or lightly cook them in a skillet until golden and then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture—the texture won’t be quite the same, but the flavor remains delicious.
Can I change the sugar-to-cinnamon ratio?
Of course! If you prefer your waffles less sweet or more cinnamon-spiced, feel free to adjust the amounts when mixing the cinnamon sugar to suit your taste perfectly.
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
Definitely! Kids love the sweet, warm cinnamon flavor and the fun waffle shape. It’s a great way to sneak in some excitement to their breakfast or snack time.
Can I add toppings before cooking?
This recipe shines when coated immediately after cooking, so it’s best not to add sugar or cinnamon to the biscuit before cooking. However, you can top with fruit, syrup, or whipped cream afterward for extra indulgence.
