GINGERBREAD WAFFLES RECIPES
Gingerbread Waffles all the delicious molasses and spice flavor of gingerbread cookies, in yummy waffle form. Having Gingerbread Waffles for Christmas breakfast is one among our favourite family holiday traditions.
I am squarely within the 'have them with syrup , OF COURSE' camp, like within the photo above. I mean, just check out that lovely treacle spilling down over the gingerbread-y goodness. Who can resist that??

The other camp swears by enjoying gingerbread waffles with lemon cheese , like within the photo below. Lemon cheese is tasty, I'll admit that. And that I do love it's bright sunshiny yellow sitting beautifully atop the waffle .
But whichever way you enjoy gingerbread waffles, they're an exquisite Christmas morning treat especially when they're made by an exquisite Mom.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 c. buttermilk
- 1/2 c. molasses
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 c. shortening, melted
INSTRUCTIONS :
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, and sugar; set aside.
- Combine eggs, buttermilk, molasses, and melted shortening, stirring until well blended. Add to flour mixture. Stir until blended.
- Cook in a waffle iron, according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve with pure maple syrup or lemon curd.
- TRACEY'S NOTES
- Waffles can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw and reheat in the oven at 300 degrees for just a few minutes, until they are heated through and the surface is "re-crisped."
- I use a deep Belgian waffle maker, but any type of waffle maker will work.
- Here's my recipe for homemade lemon curd if you'd like to have lemon curd on your gingerbread waffles.
