Pancetta and Cinnamon Waffles
Ready in 29 minutes
Prep: 8 minutes
Cook: 21 minutes

Yield: 4-6 servings







Ingredients

1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, plus 1/3 cup, plus extra for greasing the waffle iron
3 (4-ounce) slices of pancetta, about quarter-inch thick, diced into quarter-inch pieces
3 cups of Belgian waffle mix (recommended: Krusteaz)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of water
1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/2 cup of maple syrup
Special Equipment:
conventional or Belgian waffle iron

Directions

First preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spread the walnuts in an even layer on a baking sheet. After that bake for 10-12 minutes until toasted and set aside to cool.

Next, preheat and lightly grease a waffle iron. Then heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. After that add the pancetta and cook until brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Then transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to cool. 

Combine waffle mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Blend the ingredients together until smooth by using a whisk and then stir in the pancetta. Then pour the batter, using the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer's instructions, into the preheated waffle iron. After that cook waffles for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

In the end place waffles onto serving plates and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and drizzle with maple syrup. After that serve immediately. Enjoy.
