Instructions:
Preheat Waffle Iron:
Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s instructions.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, molasses, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Make the Batter:
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, but don’t overmix.
Cook the Waffles:
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the Orange Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. In a separate cup, mix cornstarch with a bit of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the orange juice mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook until the syrup thickens.
Serve:
Serve your gingerbread waffles warm with a drizzle of the homemade orange syrup.
