Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a bowl until a thick dough forms.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a waffle iron on medium-high. Lightly butter both sides of the plates.

  3. Step 3

    Place 2 tbsp dough on the center of the bottom plate. Close and cook until golden brown, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove waffle onto a cutting board. Repeat with remaining dough until you have 8 waffles.

  5. Step 5

    While waffles cool slightly, melt 4 tbsp butter with 0.5 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until glossy, ~2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cut each waffle in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread caramel on the bottom half.

  7. Step 7

    Place the top half over the caramel. The heat will soften the waffle and let the caramel ooze out. Serve warm.
