QUICK IDEAS
Cinnamon Roll Waffle
Put a cinnamon roll in a waffle iron. That is the whole idea, and it is one of the best five minutes you can spend in a kitchen. The iron presses the swirl into ridges that go crisp while the center stays soft.

- Difficulty
- Easy
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 cinnamon rolls
- Butter or nonstick spray for the iron
- Icing from the rolls, warmed
- Optional: berries, whipped cream, maple syrup
Instructions
- 01
Heat a waffle iron to medium. Grease it well; the sugar in the roll will want to stick.
- 02
Place a cinnamon roll in the center and close the lid gently. Do not press hard, let the iron do the work.
- 03
Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the outside is deep golden and crisp.
- 04
Lift it out carefully with a silicone spatula. It will be soft for the first 30 seconds and then set.
- 05
Drizzle with warmed icing and add berries or syrup.
Tips
- Medium heat. High heat scorches the sugar before the middle warms through.
- Grease the iron every single time, even a nonstick one.
Variations
- Sandwich a slice of sharp cheddar inside before pressing. It sounds wrong and it is not.
- Serve as the base for a dessert waffle with ice cream and caramel.
