Recipe worked great! I thought it seemed like a lot of ginger, but it is so good. The second time I switched out some of the white flour (1/2 c for 1/3 c of quick oatmeal and 1/4 whole wheat). I let it set a couple minutes for the oats to absorb liquid. They were also good, not crispy, but moist enough to reheat in the toaster. This is a keeper for me. I have my breakfast prepped for this week.
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!
