Breakfast is my favorite.  I’m not sure why but I could seriously eat breakfast anytime.  Waffles, pancakes, eggs…you name it.  I’m not huge on grits – didn’t eat them as a child so that has pretty much carried over into adulthood – but everything else I’m OK with.  In college, my friends used to call me ShaWaffle. Yep. That’s how serious I loved waffles.  One Saturday morning, I decided to make myself a waffle but I wanted to jazz it up a bit.  Cinnamon and sugar! Duh!  I had something very similar earlier this year at an Easter brunch at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville.  One bite and I was obsessed.  This is ridiculously easy. Assuming you have a waffle iron, there’s nothing to it.  Jazzing up your weekend breakfast just got much easier.

Cinnamon Sugar Pancakes
pancake/waffle batter (use your favorite recipe or your favorite pre-made mix)
cinnamon
sugar
melted butter

Directions:
mix your batter accordingly

heat waffle iron and spray with cooking spray, if necessary

while waffle is cooking, mix equal parts cinnamon and sugar together in a shallow dish 

using a pastry brush, “paint” butter on one side of the waffle – take the side with butter and coat with cinnamon sugar mixture

repeat with the other side

yum, yum, yum.
