pumpkin waffles

more breakfast... these are delicious.  So, so good (Mary's buttermilk syrup recipe reminded me of them)  My roommate Becca used to make them:

Becca's Super Famous & Delicious Pumpkin Waffles

(Actually, it is my Aunt Jenny's recipe, but let's not get technical.)

The Waffle Part:

Combine these dry ingredients... 2 cups flour

2 T Baking Powder

1 T Cinnamon

1 T sugar

1/2 t. nutmeg

1/2 t. coriander

1/4 t. salt

Next, separate 4 eggs and beat the whites.

To the yolks add...

1 and 1/2 cups milk

1 cup pumpkin

3/4 cup margarine or butter (melted)

1 T. vanilla

Now, mix the wet and dry ingredients and then fold in the egg whites.

Then, cook the stuff. On a greased waffle iron.

 

Most Delicious Buttermilk Syrup Part:

(a must have)

Bring the following to a boil...

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cube margarine or butter (but butter is better)

1 cup sugar

1 t. Karo syrup

Once that boils, turn it town to LOW heat and add...

1 t. baking soda

1 t. vanilla

WARNING: When you add the baking soda the syrup will grow about 10 times its normal size! I am not kidding. Remember baking soda volcanoes as kids? Yeah, that is what will happen to your syrup if you don't make it in a REALLY big pot. It will make a big mess all over and you will hate yourself for not heeding my warning.

Oh, and I hardly ever use the coriander in the waffles because I usually don't have it. It is optional.
