Sourdough Sharing - Sourdough Gingerbread Waffles

This month's sourdough challenge was pancakes and waffles.  I had recently been given an almost new waffle iron from my sister who didn't want it and decided to try this recipe for Gingerbread Waffles from my Sourdough Cookery Cookbook by Rita Davenport.

Ingredients
1/2 c molasses
6 Tbsp cooking oil
1/2 c sourdough
1 c milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 Tbsp sugar

Mix molasses, oil, sourdough, milk and eggs.  Combine dry ingredients and mix into the first mixture.


Heat waffle iron.


Pour amount batter onto waffle iron suggested by manufacturer (different amounts for different sizes irons).


Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until done.


Remove to rack.  Cut if necessary.


Top with butter and serve.


The recipe suggests eating them with applesauce and bacon or whipped cream and bananas.  I served them with mulled applesauce.  Very yummy!


 
The recipe said it makes 6 small waffles so I doubled it.  I will definitely make these again.  Enjoy!

  2. Oh goodness, what a perfect fall breakfast! I can imagine these would go very well with a steaming cup of coffee... or perhaps a dollop of coffee whipped cream...

    1. Thanks! I thought I was an unneeded expense so never bought one. Since I got this one, however, I've used it numerous times. Doesn't take much more time than pancakes either!

  5. Gingerbread taste + crispy waffles presentation = a tempting recipe. But I'd really love to know how the secret of your mulled applesauce.

    1. I make the applesauce in my crockpot. Honey, brown sugar, orange juice, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon are added. I can some every year. I will try to get it posted on my blog and then send you the link. It is very tasty!

  7. I was drooling just from seeing the colour of your batter. How rich and gorgeous is that! The flavour must be delicious with all those spices.

    1. Yes the batter was a lovely colour. These are hubby's favorite waffles so far.

  8. Oh wow, they sound like the most comforting waffles ever! Even the batter looks glorious. I can't make waffles (no waffle iron) but you've inspired me to make gingerbread pancakes. Why have I never done this before?? Thank you!

  9. Yum. I did gingerbread waffles too, and I really liked them, but with whipped cream would have been even better. And bacon is good with anything. :)

    1. Yes somebody else mentioned whipped cream and I thought I would have to try it. On the other hand, we really liked them with the mulled applesauce.
