Pumpkin Waffles

These waffles are delicious, particularly if you serve them with buttermilk syrup (aka Ebleskiver syrup)! I have also used 1/2 whole wheat flour with good success.

Ingredients:
2 1/2c flour
1/3c packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4tsp cloves
1/2tsp salt
2 1/4tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2c buttermilk
1c pumpkin puree
6 Tbsp canola oil
4 eggs, separated

Directions:
Sift together flour, sugar, spices, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. Combine buttermilk and pumpkin. Stir in canola oil and egg yolks. In a large, clean glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites with a hand mixer or beater until you have stiff peaks (meaning that when you lift the beater out of the bowl, the mixture stays pointy. As in a peak. That is stiff.)

Stir dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture till just combined. Fold in egg whites. Cook waffles in waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
