Tender buttermilk waffles are spiced with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla then topped with fruit and freshly whipped cinnamon vanilla whipped cream. Perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch.
Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
For the waffles
Whisk dry ingredients together into a medium sized mixing bowl.
Separate the egg and place the egg white into a clean mixing bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolk with buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Use an electric hand mixer on high speed to beat the egg white until it just holds a stiff peak.
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients in a thin steady stream while gently mixing with a rubber spatula; be careful not to add liquid faster than you can incorporate it. Toward end of mixing, use a folding motion to incorporate ingredients; gently fold egg white into batter.
Spread appropriate amount of batter onto hot waffle iron. Cook waffle according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately with cinnamon vanilla whipped cream.
For cinnamon vanilla whipped cream
Use a spoon to gently fold cinnamon and vanilla extract into prepared whipping cream until combined.
