How to Make Gingerbread Waffles With Hot Chocolate Sauce
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup (113g) molasses and 1/2 cup (113g) butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 cup (240ml) milk, and 1 large egg.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the cooled molasses mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto a preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
- **For the Hot Chocolate Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) water, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons (28g) butter until smooth and glossy.
- Serve the gingerbread waffles immediately with the hot chocolate sauce, warm apple pie filling and whipped cream (optional).
