How to Make Autumn Pumpkin Waffles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Set aside the dry ingredients (or store in a zip-top bag for later use).
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg yolks.
  4. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  7. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron with cooking spray or butter.
  8. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Freeze leftover waffles for a quick breakfast later.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
