Method

Pecan Cinnamon Waffle

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.

  4. 4

    Preheat Waffle Iron

    Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions.

  5. 5

    Cook Waffles

    Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.

Crispy Chicken

  1. 6

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

    Prepare Coating

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 8

    Coat Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  4. 9

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 10

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Whipped Butter

    Soften Butter

    In a mixing bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature until creamy.

  2. 12

    Mix Ingredients

    Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fluffy and well combined.

Bourbon Maple Syrup
