Gingerbread Waffles
Gourmet February 1987

2 eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2/3 cup milk
Vegetable oil for brushing waffle iron

In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg yolks and the brown sugar until the mixture is thick and pale and beat in the molasses and butter.
In another bowl sift together the flour, ginger, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves and a pinch of salt and add the mixture alternately with the milk to the molasses mixture, stirring until the batter is combined.
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks and fold them into the batter gently but thoroughly.
Heat a well-seasoned or non-stick waffle iron until it is hot, brush it lightly with the oil, and spoon the batter into it, using 1/4 cup of the batter for each 4-inch-square waffle. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions, transferring them as they are cooked to heated plates. Top the waffles with [Ginger Lemon Sauce or] your favorite syrup or ice cream and sprinkle them with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Makes about eight 4-inch-square waffles.
