Waffles:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten

1/2 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Sauce:

3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions

In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, molasses and vanilla.
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Some lumps are ok.
Preheat a waffle iron and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the batter according to the waffle maker instructions.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon extract.
Serve the lemon sauce over the waffles.
