Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
