Not sure what I did wrong ... glad I decided to do a test the day before ... the waffles stuck to the top and bottom plates even though I let them cook longer than normal ... Failure! Tried to make pancakes with the batter ... Fail! Plan C was gingerbread and pear muffins: Success!
I grated the spices fresh on a microplane. Great the day off and also froze/reheated well. We'll be enjoying these year round!
I made these for Christmas morning and they were delicious! Nothing is better for Christmas than gingerbread. I topped them with a dollop of whipped cream. Even the leftovers were great the next morning.
We had these this morning. LOVE THEM! Made to recipe, used melted butter unsalted in the waffles and on the waffle iron. That gave the waffles another layer of flavor, browned butter. YUM!!!
I just made a preview run of this recipe. Yum. This will be great for Christmas morning.
I’m curious about the calorie content for these waffles. It refers to 2 filled pita half: 353 calories. ????
These waffles are delicious! Planning to freeze a double batch to share with family in a new year's trip. I didn't have cream of tartar but I just substituted white vinegar (1\4 tsp) and it was just fine. Yummmmmm!!!!
This recipe is very tasty! I’ve never had a waffle that you could eat without syrup, but this one is that flavorful!! The recipe only makes about 5 large round waffles, so plan accordingly if your family is big.
Wonderful!! The aroma is intoxicating! Perfect for Christmas morning. I will be making these ahead and freezing for a quick, mess-free holiday. Delicious with whipped cream too!
Incredible recipe. Waffles will feel very heavy as you take out of waffle iron. When you eat they are so light and fluffy. I made Lemon sauce that my grandma always served with gingerbread cake. It was awesome. I wold give more stars if they were there.lemon sauce: 3 T lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 water,3 T butter ,1 egg beaten, lemon zest if you want and have ( you can use jarred juice). mix all in sauce pan continuously over medium heat until it JUST STARTS to boil do not let it fully boil IT will be thick enough to coat spoon, and a finger for testing! YUM
