Homer Simpson’s Patented Space-Age Out of This World Moon Waffles

Ingredients:
caramel sauce:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream, room temperature
• 1 tsp salt

waffle:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce + extra to serve at the end
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

directions:

1. To prepare the caramel sauce, stir together the sugar and water in a small pot. Place over medium heat. Keep an eye on the sugar as it boils to ensure it does not burn. Take the sugar to a very dark amber color and immediately add the butter off the heat. Stir to combine. Add the salt and heavy cream and stir until combined. Let cool.
2. Mix all your dries in one bowl and the eggs, caramel, milk, and vanilla extract in another. Set the melted butter aside until the end. Add the wets to your dries and fold it in gently while making sure not to over mix. Before the mixture is completely incorporated, add the melted butter and stir just until combined.
3. Preheat the waffle iron according to the iron’s instructions. Serve warm with extra caramel sauce and if you want to stay true to Homer’s Moon Waffles, wrap it around a stick of butter. Personally, a little pad of butter on top is just enough for me!
