  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice Promotes a buttermilk effect; can be replaced with vinegar.
  • 2 large Eggs Ensure at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  • 3 tablespoons White Sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar.
  • 3 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar Enhances flavor; can replace with more white sugar.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and whisk in the milk until well blended. Add the lemon juice, then crack in the eggs and whisk until smoothly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the sugars, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter rest while preheating your waffle iron.
  4. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron and pour enough batter to cover the surface. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. While waffles cook, prepare the Cinnamon Whipped Cream by beating the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, continuing until stiff peaks develop.
  6. Serve the warm Cinnamon Waffles topped with the creamy cinnamon whipped cream.
