Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour plain flour, or use ½ AP and ½ whole wheat pastry flour, as I often do
½ tablespoon baking powder
½ tablespoon ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
3 tablespoon melted butter (unsalted)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon molasses

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Set your waffle iron to warm up while you mix up the batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt.
In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the milk, butter, vanilla, egg, brown sugar and molasses. Make sure the molasses is well-mixed as it can stick to the bottom.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour a generous ½cup (120ml) of batter into the middle of the pre-heated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (around 4 minutes). Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately, or allow to cool before freezing, if making ahead.

Notes

If you want to make these ahead, you are best to cook them all fresh then reheat rather than try to save the batter. Allow the waffles to cool before storing in a freezer bag and then either keep overnight at room temp/in fridge, or freeze until needed. If freezing, allow them to defrost overnight in the fridge. Reheat but putting them in a pre-heated waffle iron for around a minute.
