Tasty Tuesday Pumpkin Waffles!

With all the talk about pumpkin pancakes on last week's recipe, I thought I'd give them a try. Then I decided my waffle iron had been idle much too long and took it a step further. I found a recipe for pumpkin waffles on Food.com and modified it a bit to suit what I had on hand along with my own spice preferences. They turned out to be pretty tasty! The original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups plain milk, but I had some buttermilk I needed to use up. Use what you have!

Spicy Pumpkin Waffles

Ingredients

Dry:
2 cups flour

¼ cup sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ginger

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ teaspoon cloves

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

Wet:
3 eggs

¾ cup milk

¾ cup buttermilk

3/4 cup pumpkin puree

3 tablespoons oil

Cooking spray 

Directions

1. Preheat waffle iron.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Whisk the wet ingredients together in another bowl.
4. Whisk egg mixture into the flour mixture until batter is smooth.
5.  Spray waffle iron with cooking spray; add a ladle full of batter and cook until waffles are set and golden brown, about 2 minutes. I use the #4 setting on my waffle iron and it beeps when it’s done.
6. Enjoy!
