PUMPKIN WAFFLES with BUTTERMILK SYRUP

I wish that I had some pictures to post of these but I didn't make any, so just use your imagination. They are so yummy! I like to make them on Christmas morning.

PUMPKIN WAFFLE BATTER

1 c flour

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

*mix together in a bowl

2 egg yolks-beaten (keep the whites for later)

1/2 c pumpkin

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 c milk

6 tbsp melted butter

* mix together well and then add the dry ingredients and mix.

Whip the 2 egg whites until peaks form, then fold into the batter.

BUTTERMILK SYRUP

1 1/2 c sugar

3/4 c buttermilk

1/2 c butter

2 tbsp corn syrup

*Boil for 7 minutes. Remove from heat then add:

2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking soda

*Stir together well.

You have to make this syrup to pour over the waffles. Don't just pour some plain old store bought maple syrup on them. They just won't taste the same. These are so yummy!
