Making Gingerbread Waffles is a simple process that will fill your kitchen with delightful aromas. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and sugar until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, molasses, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle maker and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 5 minutes.
6. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately or keep them warm in an oven set to low heat.
