Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 large eggs
– 1 1/2 cups milk
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 7 ounces marzipan, cut into small cubes
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and gradually stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
5. Place a ladleful of batter into the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook the waffle according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crisp.
6. Once the waffle is cooked, carefully remove it from the waffle iron and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly.
7. While the waffle is still warm, spread a generous amount of marzipan cubes across one half of the waffle.
8. Fold the other half of the waffle over the marzipan filling, creating a half-moon shape. Gently press down on the edges to seal in the filling.
9. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and marzipan cubes until all the waffles are filled.
10. Dust the warm waffles with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
