Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Ready Time: 20 mins


• preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
• beat egg yolks, buttermilk, pumpkin, and butter together with a whisk in a large bowl until smooth; add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, salt, and cloves. stir the mixture with the whisk just until you have a smooth batter.
• fold the egg whites into the batter just until combined.
• prepare cooking surfaces of your waffle iron with cooking spray. ladle about 2/3 cup batter into the prepared iron and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
