Gingerbread Waffles

This is why I love to cook--so I can eat yummy food like this! I got this recipe from a friend, Katie.


Ingredients:
4 eggs
1/3 c. sugar
1 c. molasses
1 c. buttermilk
3 c. flour
2 tsp. ginger
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. butter--melted

Directions:
Beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar, molasses, and buttermilk and mix til blended. Sift together flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until smooth. Stir in the butter. Refrigerate overnight or cook immediately in a waffle iron. Makes 14 waffles.


I think we ended up making 16 waffles. Ryan and I ate the first two so we could try them, and that's why there are only 14 waffles in the first picture. They are delicious! These would be a great after-Thanksgiving breakfast so that you can use any whipped cream left over from pies. They also taste good with maple syrup, and I'm sure they'd be delicious with fruit! This would make a wonderful breakfast for Christmas morning...or any morning! I think I'll be making these again soon! :)
