I like to do breakfast for dinner at least once a month. I love homemade waffles and pancakes, but I am never up early enough to make a big breakfast; what can I say I like my sleep to much. Pumpkin Waffles are one of my faves and we usually have them more often in the fall, but they sure sounded good last night, so Pumpkin Waffles it was.
Pumpkin Waffles:
1 1/2 c. flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. canned pumpkin
2 c. milk
4 eggs, separated
1/4 c. butter, melted
Preheat waffle iron.
Whip egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Combine all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
In another bowl combine pumpkin, milk and egg yolks.
Add flour mixture and butter to pumpkin mixture, and stir to blend.
Fold egg whites into batter.
Spray waffle iron, and pour batter in.
These have a great flavor and are always a hit when we eat them. We either have them with regular syrup or sometimes I make Apple Cider Syrup to go with them. (Funny I didn't realize Trena liked it when I make special syrup, but last night she asked if I had made any special syrup, of course then I felt bad that I took the lazy route.)
APPLE CIDER SYRUP:
1 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 c. apple cider or juice
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Combine all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
In a separate saucepan add all wet ingredients and then add surar mixture all at once.
Heat to a boil.
Boil until mixture becomes clear (about 2-4 minutes), stirring with a wisk constatntly.
