My sister was visiting and shes a big fan of sweet things. I thought it would be the perfect time to use the wonderful dulce de leche with hazelnut that I brought back from Argentina. So we started the new year with some home made whole wheat waffles topped with lots of dulce de leche. I used this recipe, but made some changes.
Dulce de leche, or “sweet milk” is popular in Argentina and tastes like caramel. I bought mine from the Historias y Sabores chocolate factory in Mendoza. I also picked up a bottle of this dulce de leche with hazelnuts for my readers. I will be giving it away on my blog soon, so watch this space!
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Waffles with Dulce de Leche
(about 6 servings)
Whole wheat flour or all purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups (or use half of each type of flour)
Corn starch – 1/2 cup
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 1 1/2 tsp
Buttermilk – 2 cups
Melted butter – 3/4 cup
Egg – 2
Sugar – 6 tsp
Vanilla extract – 2 tsp
Cinnamon – 1 1/2 tsp
Dulce de leche or syrup or honey for topping
In a bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Mix well using a whisk. Then add in all the other ingredients, except the dulce de leche or syrup or honey. Mix well. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes.
Heat a waffle maker, ladle the batter onto it and cook according the waffle maker directions.
Serve with dulce de leche, syrup or honey.

Yummy!Dulce de leche looks like nutella ,even more decadent with caramel.
About the date syrup I used in the the spice cookies,I brought it from middle eastern stores here,you could also replace that with molasses which is more commonly available.

Those are such beautiful pictures! Okay, okay, I am putting dulce de leche on the top of my to do list for this year. It won’t happen right away because I’m trying to eat healthy, but it will happen. And when I do it, I’ll come back to this post.

I would be satisfied with either the Malbec jam or the Dulce de Leche.
With the dulce de leche, I’d make a layered dulce de leche, pear, and apple pie or make it breakfast by stirring the dulce de leche in with some pancake batter and topping it with strawberries.
I’m not quite sure what I’d use the Malbec Jam for, quite honestly.
