These look amazing! So perfect for Christmas morning! Pinned. 🙂
Have a wonderful holiday!
Made these Christmas Day and they didn’t disappoint! I doubled the batch and it made 6 Belgian waffles. I wish I could post a picture. The kids loved them and we will definitely be making them again. I also used Braer Rabbit full flavor molasses. So good!
This looks like a tasty recipe! Can it be adjusted to make pancakes?
I loved this recipe so much! Can I use the same one flour pancakes?!? I used to make the gingerbread pancake recipe, and I can’t find it now. Perfect Christmas break breakfast.
If you add a little water to thin the batter this should work great for pancakes!
