Pumpkin Waffles

My sister Vicki passed on this recipe to me, and I'm so glad she did.  These are some seriously fluffy, flavorful waffles. Recipe comes from this blog.




Pumpkin Waffles

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 Tbsp cornstarch
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg OR 1/4 tsp pre-grated, dried nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and warm

 DIRECTIONS
1. Lightly oil the waffle iron with vegetable oil ( I used spray), and set it to the desired temperature.
2. Combine brown sugar and cornstarch in large bowl. Whisk together to break apart the cornstarch. Add the remaining dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
3. Separate eggs: yolks go in a medium sized bowl and whites get set aside in a smaller bowl.
4. Add pumpkin and milk to the egg youlks. Whisk to blend and set aside.
5. Whip egg whites with a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form-about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Set aside.
6. Pour melted butter into the yolk/milk/pumpkin mixture. As you pour, whisk to combine.
7. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix them together until just combined. A little lumpiness is fine. That will smooth out when the egg whites are added.
8. Slide the whipped egg whites out of the bowl and onto the mixture you just prepared. Gently fold them in until no white bits are obvious.
9. Once the waffle iron is heated, you're ready to pour the batter. Cook time is about 4 minutes.
