Tips for Perfect Gingerbread Belgian Waffles:

- For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. - Gingerbread spice blend is crucial for that classic flavor. Make your own or use a store-bought mix. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough waffles. - To achieve a golden brown color and crispy texture, preheat your waffle iron to the highest setting. - Use a generous amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. - For thicker waffles, pour more batter onto the waffle iron. - If you prefer softer waffles, let them cool slightly before serving. - Elevate your waffles with delicious toppings like whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of ice cream.
