Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the waffle batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk and melted butter, mixing until smooth. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep waffles tender.
- Preheat your waffle iron: While the batter rests for a few minutes, heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking and ensure crisp edges on your waffles.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly but do not overload. Close the lid and cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp on the edges, typically about 4-6 minutes depending on your device.
- Make the cinnamon whipped cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then continue whipping until firm peaks develop, creating a creamy, spiced topping.
- Assemble and serve: Stack the warm waffles on plates, dollop generously with cinnamon whipped cream, and optionally dust with extra cinnamon or drizzle with maple syrup for an extra special touch.
Notes
- Use fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor impact.
- Stir batter just until combined to keep waffles light and fluffy—avoid overmixing.
- Preheat waffle iron thoroughly for crisp, golden waffles.
- Use a cold bowl and beaters when whipping cream to achieve the best texture.
- Serve waffles immediately to enjoy their perfect crispiness and warm interior.
