Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, and egg until well incorporated.
In another bowl, mix the flour, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together.
Gradually mix the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, pouring half of the flour into the wet ingredients, stirring until the flour is absorbed before adding the remaining flour. Mix until there are no streaks of flour. Small lumps are okay.
Let the batter rest while preheating a Belgian waffle iron to medium-high.
Cooking:
Preheat the waffle iron for at least 5 minutes, or until a drop of water sizzles on contact with the griddle.
Coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop 2/3 to 3/4 c. batter into the waffle iron, using the bottom of the cup to spread the batter to the edges. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or according to your waffle maker's instructions, until the waffles are golden brown on the outside. Remove the waffle from the iron; place on a cooling rack.
Cook the remaining waffles.
Serve waffles immediately, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or with whipped cream and maple syrup, if desired.
Makes 4-5 Belgian waffles.
