Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon gingerbread spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and let it heat up fully to ensure the waffles cook evenly and develop a crisp exterior.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and gingerbread spice until well combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, molasses, eggs, and melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well combined.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook each waffle until crisp and golden brown, usually about 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Notes
- Serve the waffles warm with whipped cream or maple syrup for added sweetness.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the batter.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
