Cinnamon Belgian Waffles

Recipe View Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate, impeccably clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted and cooled butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly acceptable. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Delicately fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate them. This ensures the waffles are light and airy. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Spoon the recommended amount of batter (usually about 1/3 cup) onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and the iron stops steaming, approximately 4-5 minutes per waffle. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
