Morning Waffled Cinnamon Rolls

Waking up in the morning is so much better when the smell of warm cinnamon and brown sugar is wafting through the air. Baking cinnamon rolls in the oven can seem to take an eternity, but when you waffle them, they are ready in about 3minutes. The dough needs an hour to rise, though, so if you are in a hurry, prepare it the night before.

Makes 20 rolls

•Electric mixer

Tips

The dough can be prepared through step 3 and refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.

If the sugar mixture gets messy in the waffle iron as you cook the cinnamon rolls, carefully use a damp paper towel or a moistened silicone pastry brush to wipe out drips between batches and prevent burnt sugar from sticking to the rolls.
