Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and coarse salt in a bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add in the eggs and whole milk, mixing well.
  3. Gradually sift in all-purpose flour, yeast, and ground cinnamon; knead until a soft, pliable dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  5. In a saucepan, heat unsalted butter and light brown sugar over low heat until melted; stir in Lyle's Golden Syrup and molasses, simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Preheat your waffle maker on medium-high heat.
  7. Divide the dough into balls, place one in the waffle maker, and bake for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown.
  8. Carefully split each waffle in half, squeeze caramel filling between the halves, and press together.
  9. Allow to cool slightly so the syrup sets.
