Method

1 Beat the egg yolks in a bowl with the milk. Sift in the flour, baking powder, caster sugar, ground cinnamon and salt. Stir in the melted butter and leave to rest for 20 minutes.

2 Meanwhile whisk the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Gently fold into the flour mixture, then add the berries, and fold until evenly mixed.

3 Preheat a lightly greased waffle iron and spoon on quarter of the mixture. Cook following manufacturer's instructions until golden brown. Repeat using the remaining blueberry batter.

4 Garnish the waffles with the mint leaves and dust lightly with icing sugar. Serve warm with a generous helping of whipped cream and 1-2tbsp fresh blueberries on the side.
