- For the topping:
- 1/2 a stick of butter, very soft
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ounce cream cheese (optional)

Instructions

- For the waffles, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking soda together. Stir with a whisk and set aside.
- Mix two egg yolks (save the whites in a small mixing bowl), buttermilk, and the melted butter together. Stir with a whisk and then pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
