Cinnamon Belgian Waffles

I got a new Belgian Waffle maker for Christmas this year. It's a nice one like you see in motels for the continental breakfasts that you can flip the waffle maker over while they're cooking! I had ran across this recipe at Allrecipes.com a while ago and had wanted to give it a try, but my waffle maker was old and hiding in the back of my cupboard so I hadn't gotten around to it. The day after Christmas we decided to have 'Breakfast" for dinner with Ham and leftover Sour cream potatoes.. . so it was a perfect opportunity to try out this recipe! These were delicious! Light and fluffy! Awesome with butter and maple syrup! Enjoy!


Cinnamon Belgian Waffles
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 pinch ground cinnamon (or two dashes like I did)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your waffle iron.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, buttermilk and butter until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon; stir into the buttermilk mixture. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Fold into the batter.
Spoon batter onto the hot waffle iron, close, and cook until golden brown. Waffles are usually done when the steam subsides.
Top with butter and maple syrup and enjoy!!
