Ingredients
Scale
For the Cinnamon Waffles
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups (354 g) milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 ½ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- 1 cup (240 g) heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the Cinnamon Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is thick and holds shape well. Refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to serve to keep it fresh and fluffy.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to its highest heat setting to ensure the waffles cook crispy and golden.
- Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the white sugar, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Brush Waffle Iron with Butter: Lightly brush the preheated waffle iron plates with melted butter. This step helps with browning and caramelization, ensuring the waffles get a delicious crust.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden, crisp, and cooked through. Note that cooking times can vary depending on the appliance used.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve them hot topped generously with the cinnamon whipped cream for a delightful, spiced breakfast experience.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use coconut cream to make whipped cream.
- Ensure not to overfill the waffle iron to avoid batter overflow and uneven cooking.
- Waffle cooking time may vary based on your waffle iron brand and model; check for golden color and crispness as a doneness guide.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves can enhance the cinnamon flavor for a more spiced waffle.
