Notes
For the best results, ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter to achieve a crispy exterior. If you prefer lighter waffles, you can separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, then fold them gently into the batter before cooking. Adjust the spices to your taste preference for a more or less intense gingerbread flavor.
