Description

Classic waffles get spiced up and laced with molasses. Creamy, warm vanilla sauce drizzled over the top makes a great autumn or holiday breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Allspice
  • ¾ teaspoons Ginger
  • ½ sticks Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Molasses
  • 1-½ cup Milk
  • 3 whole Eggs, Separated
  • _____
  • VANILLA CREAM SAUCE:
  • 2 cups Milk
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation

Heat the waffle iron. Beat the egg whites in a mixer bowl until stiff peaks form.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the molasses and milk to the melted butter, then beat in the egg yolks. Stir into the flour mixture until just combined.

Fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. For each waffle, put about 1/2 cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook until done.

For the Vanilla Cream Sauce:

Put the 2 cups of milk in a saucepan and heat it over medium heat until bubbles form around the edge of the pan. Mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt together. Gradually add this to the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken a bit. Don’t boil it. Pull it from the heat and add the butter and vanilla.

It’s best to make the sauce first, then fix the waffles. It will stay warm while the waffles cook.

This was a huge hit with the family. I did add about 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter. It will be a repeat recipe!

These are so good, I made them quite a bit this winter. My girls wouldn’t touch the cream sauce and just used maple syrup but they are weird. I love all of it. These are delicious.
