Sesame-Ginger Spelt Waffles

In a large bowl, combine ﬂour, ginger, sesame seeds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Blend in buttermilk, rice (if using), melted butter, and vanilla.
Preheat waﬄe iron. Stir buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients, just until ﬂour is absorbed. Do not overmix.
Grease waﬄe iron, if necessary. Bake waﬄes according to manufacturer’s instructions until crisp. If batter becomes thick and doesn’t spread easily, thin with additional buttermilk.
Serve immediately, or arrange on a rack in a single layer and keep warm in an oven pre-heated to 200º F (100°C). Accompany waﬄes with a small pitcher of warm maple syrup or honey.
