Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the batter evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients including flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, molasses, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until blended. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fluffy texture in the waffles.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until the waffles are crisp and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve warm: Remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately while warm. They taste great with whipped cream, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Serve with whipped cream or maple syrup for added indulgence.
- Batter can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight for convenience.
