Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Belgian
Servings: 6 waffles
Author: Gemma Stafford
Ingredients
  • cups (12floz/360ml) buttermilk
  • ¾ cup (4½oz/128g) dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 6 tbsp (3oz/85g) butter (melted)
  • ¼ cup (2½oz/71g) molasses
  • 2 cups (10oz/284g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup , for serving
Instructions
  1. Preheat a Belgian waffle iron to medium-high heat.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, brown sugar, eggs, butter, and molasses.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined with a few small lumps remaining.

  5. Lightly brush a touch of oil on the waffle iron and then pour a ½ cup of batter onto the iron. Cook according to the manufacturer’s directions.

  6. Keep the cooked waffles under a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.

  7. Serve hot with butter and warm maple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
