Preheat waffle iron to medium.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add sugar, molasses and buttermilk, then beat.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add to batter and stir until smooth, then add butter and combine.

Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into very hot waffle iron and bake for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.


Perfect for holiday brunch! Includes flavors that bring to mind a warm fireplace in the winter: ginger, cloves and cinnamon.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank Checkers for this recipe.

Gave these a try and they are some of the best waffles we've ever made. Perfect texture and so tasty.

I really wanted this recipe to be good, but it tasted like molasses, not gingerbread, and I didn't even use the whole 1/2 cup called for. Way too cloyingly sweet, none of the spice came through.

Fantastic recipe! We used butter and powdered sugar for a topping (maple syrup competes too much).

My wife loves all things ginger - and she really loved these. Very tasty; and they re-heat well, too!

We tried these waffles this morning - delicious. They are very moist and I put the waffles into a 200 degree oven for about five minutes to firm and crisp them a bit. They were a hit with my whole family.
