Ingredients

Melted butter for greasing plus 60g extra, melted

3/4 cup plain flour

2 tbsp caster sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

Vanilla ice-cream and maple syrup, to serve

Cinnamon Sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

3 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional). Grease 2 waffle stick pans with melted butter.

Sift flour, caster sugar and baking powder into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, then add buttermilk, eggs, extra butter and vanilla.

Whisk to form a smooth batter. Transfer mixture to a large jug.

Pour batter evenly among waffle stick hollows. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until waffle sticks are pale golden and spring back when lightly touched with fingertips. Cool in pan for 2 minutes.

To make cinnamon sugar, combine sugar and cinnamon on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Loosen edges of waffle sticks with fingertips. Turn out into cinnamon-sugar mixture. Toss well to coat. Serve sticks warm with ice-cream and maple syrup.
