Pumpkin Waffles

Pumpkin Waffles

1 Tbs. vanilla
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. butter or margarine, melted
1 c. pumpkin
4 eggs, divided
2 c. flour
1 Tbs. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 Tbs. baking powder
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix vanilla, milk, butter, pumpkin, and egg yolks. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients and then stir in pumpkin mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter. Cook in waffle iron and serve with syrup.

I served these with cinnamon syrup, but the original recipe included a recipe for buttermilk syrup. I didn't make it because I didn't have buttermilk, but I'll include it here. Sounds interesting...

Buttermilk Syrup

1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Bring butter, buttermilk, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Let sit until foam goes down, stirring occasionally.
