Spiced Pumpkin Waffles

• portions: 3 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup yellow cornmeal, finely ground

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Pinch ground nutmeg

Pinch of ground cloves

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)

1 1/4 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup fresh or canned pumpkin purée

4 tablespoons butter, melted (plus a little more for brushing the waffle iron)

Applesauce or apple butter for serving

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat the iron so it's hot when the batter is done.

Whisk the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.

Whisk the sugar and wet ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until there are no more brown sugar clumps. Add the buttermilk, pumpkin purée, melted butter and whisk until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Cook in the waffle iron: Brush a little melted butter over the wells of the hot waffle maker (to make it easier to remove the waffles.) When your waffle maker is hot, working in batches, ladle the batter onto the center of the waffle iron wells, not all the way to the edge, and slowly lower the top lid of the waffle iron.

Serve with warmed maple syrup and a side of apple sauce or apple butter.

Notes

Any leftover waffles can be cooled, wrapped in plastic wrap, and frozen. Unwrap and pop in a toaster or oven to reheat.

Don't have buttermilk? Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup and 3 tablespoons of milk and let sit for a couple minutes. Or mix 3/4 cup of plain yogurt with a half cup of milk.

If you'd prefer to use pumpkin pie spice instead of individual spices, substitute 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
