Pumpkin Nut Belgian Waffles

These waffles taste like freshly baked pumpkin muffins and are delicious

served with warm maple syrup. Makes approx. 6 waffles

1½ cups (150g) all-purpose flour

ounce (30g) finely chopped walnuts or pecans (best if toasted first)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

¾ cup (about 150g) pumpkin purée (canned solid-pack pumpkin)

2 large eggs, separated

1 cup whole milk

¼ cup (250ml) real maple syrup (do not use pancake syrup)

3 tablespoons (10g) unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 large egg whites

In a large bowl, combine the flour, chopped nuts, cornstarch, baking

powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir to blend and reserve. In

a second bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, egg yolks, milk, maple syrup,

melted butter, and vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Add the liquid

ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to blend until smooth, using a

whisk. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Preheat your Waring

Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #5 or preferred setting* (ready light will

illuminate when preheated).

Use measuring cup to measure out batter. Pour into waffle grids. Use a

heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close cover

and rotate 180˚ to the right. Bake the waffles until the Ready light turns off

and then on again. Rotate 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and repeat with

remaining batter. For best results, do not open waffle maker during

cooking process.

Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F/95°C) oven. Arrange waffles on

a cookie sheet on a rack in the oven. Serve with warm maple syrup,

powdered sugar, or whipped cream.

*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve a golden-brown baked

Belgian waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker

waffles.
