Instructions
Creating Gingerbread Waffles can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, molasses, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle maker if necessary. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until golden brown and crispy.
6. Repeat: Continue cooking until all the batter is used. Keep the cooked waffles warm in an oven set to low heat if necessary.
7. Serve Warm: When ready to serve, stack the waffles on plates and top with whipped cream, maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
