Gingerbread Belgian Waffles
These waffles have the flavor of just-baked gingerbread, and are delicious
served with fresh fruit or caramelized apples and pears.
Makes 6 waffles
½ cup warm water
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
2 cups warm milk (about 105°F)
3 large eggs, separated
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Measure water into a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and yeast;
stir to dissolve. Let stand 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the flour,
graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, salt, ginger, and lemon zest; stir to
combine. Add the milk, egg yolks, melted cooled butter, and vanilla to the
yeast mixture. Stir until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat until
smooth, using a hand mixer on low speed. Cover with waxed paper and let
stand to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes.
Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Gently fold into the batter.
Preheat your Waring Pro ® Breakfast Express
setting* (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).
For best results, do not open waffle/omelet maker during cooking process.
Doing so will offset the timing mechanism.
Use the measuring scoop to measure out batter, spreading evenly into waffle
grids. Close lid and rotate 180˚ to the right and bake in the hot waffle maker
until beeper sounds. Rotate waffle side 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and
repeat with remaining batter. Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F) oven.
Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a rack in the warm oven. Serve
with lemon curd, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, a warm fruit syrup, or whipped
cream.
*We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a golden brown baked Belgian
waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
