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: Add the cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl. Whip using an electric mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron to its highest heat setting to ensure the waffles cook evenly and get a golden crust.
- 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. Whisk together until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Cook the Waffles: Lightly brush the waffle iron with melted butter to encourage browning and caramelization. Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to spread evenly to the edges, being careful not to overfill. Close the iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Adjust cooking time as needed based on your appliance.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve hot, topped with a generous dollop of the cinnamon whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh ground cinnamon to maximize flavor.
- If you prefer crispier waffles, cook a little longer but monitor closely to avoid burning.
- The lemon juice added to the milk acts as a buttermilk substitute, helping the waffles to be tender.
- Waffles can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a toaster or oven for up to 2 days.
- Adjust the amount of sugar or cinnamon in the whipped cream to taste for sweetness and spice balance.
