Method
 

Waffle Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate container, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, whole milk, eggs, molasses, freshly grated ginger, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; it's okay if a few lumps remain. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  5. Use a portion scoop to fill the preheated iron with batter. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the cooked waffles to a cooling rack to maintain crispiness until serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

For best results, ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated. Let the batter rest before using for fluffier waffles. Avoid overmixing to keep them tender.
