September hits me every year with this ridiculous craving for sweet potatoes (not that old sweet potato casserole your grandma made but sweet potato rolls and breads and risotto and etc.) and the need for pumpkin anything! This year I made this fantastic belgian waffle. and yes, its a little complicated but let me tell you now sometimes, especially for best friends, its worth going the extra mile to watch that pure joy wash over their face as they enjoy each bite.
2 1/2 Cups of flour
2 1/4 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp of salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp of fresh ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice
4 large eggs separated
2 tsp vanilla
2 C whole buttermilk
1 1/4 C pumpkin Puree
1/3 brown sugar
7 tbs. butter melted
You will need three bowls. 1 very large one. 1 medium one to put the egg yolks and mixture into. 1 smaller one with high sides to whip the whites in.
In a large bowl place the first 8 (dry) ingredients. Now into the bowl you have your yolks from your eggs you will need to add the vanilla, buttermilk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and melted cool butter. Stir these together and slowly pour this into your dry ingredients. Mix it till incorporated and set aside. In the bowl with the egg whites whip them with a hand mixer ( I like to add just a pinch of cream of tarter, but you can do it without) till you get soft peaks. Fold whipped egg whites into the batter and have belgian waffle maker hot and ready to go!
Follow your waffle maker's guidelines for waffle making. I just bought an Oster Belgian Waffle maker and I am in love with it!!
This made 8 very large waffles!
