Cinnamon Waffles

I love making waffles. This came about when I found a Belgian waffle maker at a garage sale. I bought it for five dollars and have been using it ever since. I started making them cinnamon waffles by accident. My mom and I were making waffles and she wanted to add a little cinnamon. She accidently added a lot of cinnamon. But when we made them they were delicious! They especially taste good with maple syrup. I've made them this way ever since!

I got this recipe from the Williams Sonoma blog.

Here I the recipe:

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Waffles

2 cups (10 oz./315 g.) all-purpose flour
2 Tbs. malted milk powder or granulated sugar
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
2 1/4 cups (18 fl. oz./560 ml.) buttermilk
3 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted, plus room temperature butter for serving
3 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Canola oil for cooking, if needed
Pure maple syrup for serving

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and have ready a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat a regular (not Belgian) waffle iron.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The batter will be quite lumpy. In a small bowl, using a clean whisk or a handheld mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Scoop the whites onto the batter an, using the whisk, gently fold them in evenly. The finished batter may have a few small lumps.

If your waffle iron is not nonstick, lightly oil the grid. Ladle some of the batter over the grid, close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles piping hot with plenty of butter and maple syrup. Serves 4.

I loved making these! They are great for breakfast, especially on weekends when you have a bit more time to make them. You could even make  lot of batter and store it  in your refrigerator for weekday mornings.
