Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup water

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

    Combine Water and Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and melted butter. Stir occasionally until the mixture reaches a gentle simmer. Once simmering, swiftly remove it from the heat.

      Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry mixture into the saucepan with the water and butter. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a thick dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

        Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes. Once it’s warm but not hot, incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is smooth and well blended.

          Preheat the Waffle Maker: Set your waffle maker to medium-high heat and preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Preheating ensures crispy and golden waffle sticks.

            Cook the Waffle Sticks: Lightly grease the waffle plates with vegetable oil or non-stick spray. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of the batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn a delightful golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter until all waffle sticks are cooked.

              Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow plate or dish, combine the ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Mix until evenly blended, creating a fragrant cinnamon-sugar mix for coating.

                Coat the Waffle Sticks: Once the waffle sticks are ready, allow them to cool for a minute or two. Roll each stick in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until thoroughly coated on all sides for an irresistible sweet finish.

                  Serve: Slice the waffle into individual sticks and serve them warm. They are delicious on their own, but feel free to offer a side of dipping sauce, such as chocolate or caramel, for an indulgent touch!
