Found this one while digging through my Mom’s collection of cookbooks.  Waffles are an affordable and elegant breakfast option in their own right. Pairing them with pumpkin just takes things over the top.

Can’t wait to try it out.

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

4 eggs, separated

2 cups milk

1 cup canned pumpkin

1/4 cup butter, melted

Combine first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together egg yolks, milk and pumpkin. Add to flour mixture, stirring until just moistened. Stir in butter and set aside. Beat egg whites at high speed until soft peaks form. Fold into waffle batter. Heat oiled waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Makes 12/16 waffles.
