Pumpkin Waffles {with THE WORKS!}
Pumpkin Waffles
Lisa Pearson
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup plain pumpkin {no spices added}
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. sea salt
Beat eggs, buttermilk and pumpkin together. Add the rest of the ingredients. Whisk until batter is smooth. Place 2/3 of a cup on waffle iron and let cook until golden brown.
Cinnamon Sugar
½ cup organic sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
Homemade Syrup
Lisa Pearson
1 cup organic sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. clearjel {available at King Arthur or the Decorette Shop}
½ cup corn syrup
1 cup water
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
*Whisk all dry ingredients together in a little saucepan. Add wet ingredients. Stir until it boils. Boil for three minutes. Strain. Pour into an old-fashioned glass syrup dispenser and frolick the day away!
*Be sure to keep leftover syrup in the fridge. Now, go frolick!
Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream
Lisa Pearson
Whip up 1 pint of whipping cream with 4 Tbsp. Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup.
Here is what you do:
*Place waffle{s} on plate
*Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar
*Pour on warm syrup {in your cute little glass dispenser} :)
*Top with whipped cream and garnish with freshly ground nutmeg
Post Note: It is the little things in life that add zest to life. With all the money you will be saving by making your own syrup, you may want to purchase a dispenser. They can be found at thrift stores...make sure it has a tight seal..., Cash and Carry, K-Mart, Target, EBAY etc. and if you don't have the time, CHRISTMAS IS COMING AND THE GOOSE IS GETTING FAT! {my hubby's favorite saying from October on!}

...if you want to enjoy some yummy syrup and don't have time to make it, just top your waffle with TORANI PUMPKIN SPICE SYRUP...a little goes a long way!
...tired girls home from college, 1 teenage boy, an energetic hubby, and grandparents who dropped by...a little dappled doggie who feels she is entitled to pumpkin waffles, too...and there you have our crazy, late, late brunch!
Happy Happy Happy Weekend!
