Pumpkin Waffles

Date: October 3, 2012

Recipe: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/11/pumpkin-waffles/

Modifications:  A little bit of my egg yolk got in with my whites, so I had to throw a few away (they don’t beat up if any part of the yolk is in there) so I only had 3 egg whites. We never have buttermilk, so as usual I used milk with about a tablespoon of vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes.

Time to table: In total, it felt like nearly an hour. Much like these pancakes, these dirty up 3 separate bowls, and you have to beat egg whites. It does make for a great finished product, though! The waffles are much fluffier with a bit of a crisp exterior when the egg whites are beaten separately.

Servings: Served 3 of us and we had a few to put in the freezer.

Notes: I added Luke as a rater for this one :) He has had a few pieces of these to chew on straight from the freezer, which bought us an ENTIRE DINNER of silence – AMAZING. I will for sure be making many more waffles for him now :)

Notes: This was a recipe from our neighbor Molly that they’ve made a couple times and it was a hit up at the cabin with Erin’s parents.
