Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute sorghum molasses for blackstrap molasses. Despite the title, this recipe does not call for cream.

    This was not a success. As others have mentioned, the batter was very thick. The finished waffles had a nice flavor but were tough and heavy.

    Delicious batter but way too thick. I increased the buttermilk. That might have thrown the ratio of other things off a bit but it worked.

    Very tasty, good but not overpowering gingerbread flavor. Sweet enough on their own, but also nice with maple syrup. Although cream isn't called for, I can see how whipped cream would be a nice topping. As indicated, the waffles were extremely soft straight from the iron, but crisped upon cooling (and softened again upon reheating) - the opposite of most waffles. I got 8 round waffles.

    I used our molasses on hand which is described as mild, and all Penzy’s spices. We loved them! Definitely tasted and smelled of gingerbread in the most pleasant way possible. So perfect for a December Sunday morning!

    We liked these waffles. They have a nice, mild gingerbread flavor and excellent texture. I was worried that they would be too sweet but they weren't. We ate them with a tiny amount of syrup and some fresh, barely sweetened whipped cream.

    The dough turned out very thick for these waffles, and as such I was barely able to eke out six waffles. The gingerbread flavor was far too subtle for me, and the only reason I'm giving this three instead of two stars is that I have no sense of smell, and my visiting parents said it did have a slight gingerbread flavor. Anyhow, won't be making these again - if I'm going to make gingerbread waffles, I want a strong gingerbread flavor.
