Ingredients

1½ C. AP flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 ½ tsp. Cinnamon

½ tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. ginger

¼ tsp cloves

½ tsp salt

1 C. canned pumpkin puree 

2 eggs

3 Tbsp. melted butter

1⁄4 C. brown sugar

1 C. Buttermilk

 

¾ C. chopped walnuts

1 C. heavy cream

2 Tbsp. maple syrup

½ tsp. salt

Cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

Heat your waffle iron. Melt a TBSP. of butter for greasing your iron between batches.

Toast your walnuts on 375 for 5-7 minutes watching to make sure they do not burn.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.

In a medium bowl whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar and buttermilk until well combined.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Mix until almost combined. Add butter to until just combined. Try not to overmix. If the mixture is too dry to pour, add ¼ cup of milk to loosen.

Brush some butter on the iron. I use an ice cream scoop to fill each mickey shape and it’s the perfect amount. Pour batter into waffle iron, and cook according to waffle iron directions.

While your waffles are cooking, whip your heavy cream with a hand mixer until it has thickened. Add the syrup and salt to your taste.

Place 2 waffles on a plate, pour syrup over, sprinkle with the toasted walnuts, top with a dollop of maple whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Enjoy the season!
