Power Waffles

Whenever I see my mom she wants me to make power waffles. She got her wish last weekend. I got this recipe from Bon Apetit. I'm sure I've tweaked it a bit. It took a little bit to find some buckwheat flour, but I had everything else in the house. I start this the night before because I don't want to have to wait an extra hour in the morning for breakfast. I use candied ginger instead of crystallized because it is easier to cut up and makes less of a mess.
