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 holds its shape. Refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to serve to keep it chilled and fresh.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to its highest heat setting and allow it to heat thoroughly. This ensures crispy and evenly cooked waffles.
- Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the white sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, but be careful not to overmix.
- Cook the Waffles: Lightly brush the preheated waffle iron with melted butter to promote browning and prevent sticking. Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface without overfilling. Close the iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary depending on your appliance.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve them hot topped generously with the cinnamon whipped cream for a warm and comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for the best flavor.
- Lemon juice added to the milk acts as a buttermilk substitute, helping the waffles stay tender.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle maple syrup over the waffles before adding the whipped cream.
- Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven for up to 10 minutes.
