Pumpkin Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup (allrecipes.com)

I inadvertently made these into pancakes instead of waffles. They were really good, and I'm expecting them to be even better as crispy waffles! The syrup was to-die-for.

2½ c flour

4 tsp baking powder

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground allspice

1 tsp ground ginger

½ tsp salt

¼ c packed brown sugar

1 c canned pumpkin

2 c milk

4 eggs, separated

¼ c butter, melted

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a standing mixer, stir together the pumpkin, milk, and egg yolks. Whip the egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Stir the flour mixture and melted butter into the pumpkin mixture, stirring just to combine. Use a rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, stirring gently until incorporated. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Cook waffles in waffle iron.

½ c white sugar

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 c apple cider

1 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp butter

Stir together the dry ingredients. Stir in the cider and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil. Boil until the syrup thickens (~2 min). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Serve warm.
