Method
-
To make caramel, in a large saucepan medium heat. Stir in syrup, sugar and cream. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in salt. Transfer to a large, heatproof jug. Cool for 20 minutes.
2 Cut waffles in half crossways. Arrange half the waffles in a single layer over the base of a 12-cup capacity rectangular, ovenproof dish (21cm x 28cm x 7cm deep). Spoon over 1⁄2 cup of caramel. Arrange remaining waffles over the top.
3 Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add milk and cream. Whisk to combine. Pour over waffles. Sprinkle with almonds.
4 Place dish in a large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
5 Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 1 hour, or until golden brown and set. Remove dish from pan. Stand for 15 minutes before serving.
6 Dust over sifted icing sugar. Serve with ice-cream and caramel.
