Pumpkin Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup


Janessa usually comes home for lunch. Today she brought some friends. I made these waffles. They have two of my favorite flavors of the season: apples and pumpkin. Hmmm...delish!!

Pumpkin Waffles
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 c. canned pumpkin
2 c. milk
4 eggs, separated
1/4 c. butter, melted

Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, salt, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin, milk, and egg yolks. Whip the egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form.

Stir the flour mixture and 1/4 c. melted butter to the pumpkin mixture, stirring just to combine. Use a whisk or rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, stirring gently until incorporated. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Cook waffles.

Apple Cider Syrup
1/2 c. white sugar
1 T. cornstarch
1 tsp cinnamon
1 c. apple cider
1 T. lemon juice
2 T. butter

Stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Stir in the apple cider and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil; boil until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Serve warm.
