Belgian Waffles

(Some of the amounts are strange, because I split the original recipe in thirds)

2 cups white flour
2/3 tsp. salt
1/3 tsp. sugar
2 1/3 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 stick of margarine or butter (melted prior to addition)
OPTIONAL: vanilla extract

Cinnamon Rolls

2 T. dry yeast
(dissolve in warm water with 1 tsp. SUGAR)
1/2 C. warm water
1 C. hot milk
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2 eggs (beaten well)
1/2 C. margarine (melted)
4-5 C. flour

* Mix milk, sugar, salt, eggs, margarine, water.
* Stir in flour until dough is easy to handle.
* Place in bowl to let rise until double in size.
* Shape into rolls and let rise 30 minutes.
* Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

* I like to sprinkle brown sugar on the dough, along with the cinnamon and sugar, before rolling up. I also like to put the frosting on the cinnamon rolls as soon as I take them out of the oven; it makes the frosting spread nicely and keeps the rolls from drying out as quickly. Yum, yum!
