Step 1
Mix flour, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a bowl until a thick dough forms.
Step 2
Heat a waffle iron on medium-high. Lightly butter both sides of the plates.
Step 3
Place 2 tbsp dough on the center of the bottom plate. Close and cook until golden brown, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Remove waffle onto a cutting board. Repeat with remaining dough until you have 8 waffles.
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.
Step 6
Cut each waffle in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread caramel on the bottom half.
Step 7
Place the top half over the caramel. The heat will soften the waffle and let the caramel ooze out. Serve warm.
