Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 | cups flour |
| 1 1/2 | tsp baking powder |
| 1/2 | tsp baking soda |
| 1 | tsp cinnamon |
| 3/4 | tsp ginger |
| 1/2 | tsp salt |
| 2 | eggs |
| 1/3 | cup sugar |
| 3/4 | cup buttermilk |
| 1/2 | cup molasses |
| 1/4 | cup margarine |
Instructions:
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Sift the mixture to ensure even distribution of ingredients, then set it aside.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and foamy, creating a fluffy texture.
-
Mix in Buttermilk and Molasses: Stir the buttermilk and molasses into the egg and sugar mixture until well combined. These ingredients will add moisture and depth of flavor to the waffle batter.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense waffles.
-
Add Margarine: Gently fold in the melted margarine to the batter. The margarine will contribute richness and help achieve a crisp exterior on the waffles.
-
Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
Cook Waffles: Pour about 1 and 1/4 cups of batter onto the preheated, greased waffle iron. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron and transfer them to serving plates. Serve the warm Gingerbread Waffles with sliced bananas and a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
These Gingerbread Waffles are sure to become a favorite breakfast or brunch option, especially during the festive holiday season. Enjoy the delightful aroma and rich flavor of gingerbread in every bite! 🎄🧇
