Pumpkin Waffles

Thanksgiving is 1 week away!! What better way to start out your holiday fest by serving a classic waffle with the season’s favorite flavor, Pumpkin!


1 3/4 Cup Flour

2 TBSP Sugar

1 tsp. Baking powderPumpkin Waffles

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

2 Eggs

1 1/2 Cups Milk

1/4 Cup Vegetable oil

1 tsp. Vanilla


Plug in Waffle Iron and set to 4 on the heat index.

Take a large bowl and add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Sir together and create a well in the middle of the bowl.

Now take another bowl and add eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Mix together until all is combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the center well in the dry ingredients bowl and mix everything together. This will take about 2 min.

Set mixture aside for 5 min.

Use a 1/2 measuring cup and scoop out your waffle batter into the middle of your waffle iron and close the top. Usually your waffle iron will give a “green” light or “beep” when it is done.

Serve one at a time or set your oven on 300 degrees and take a cookie sheet with a cooling rack on top and place the completed waffles on top of the rack. This will keep waffles hot when you want to serve family style at the table.


TIPS:

I like to use vegetable oil since it is the cheapest option at the store, but you can also use canola if you have that on hand.

With this recipe I used whole milk, but again just use what you have in your fridge.

I said to mix the wet and dry ingredients together for about 2 min. You are looking for all the dry to be incorporated and it is ok to have a few lumps.

I set the completed waffle batter aside to let the baking powder and baking soda activate to make fluffy waffles!

If you find you like your waffles more crisp, set your waffle iron to 5 or a higher setting. This is your preference.

If you find that 1/2 cup of batter isn’t enough.. just add a bit more to find the perfect measurement to make your ideal waffle.
