Love for Food

I can't remember where I got this recipe but every fall I become excited all over again when I think about making them. I started making these pumpkin waffles a few years ago, during a period of economic hardship I was going though. Several of my friends kept asking about going out to brunch. I didn't want to say no but when you are on a budget spending $30.00 on brunch was out of the question. Since all brunch items are typically very cheap, I decided to hold my own brunch. It was fall and I love pumpkin. I started to think about what to make. I was afraid of having too many last minute dishes to make so I opted for waffles. These waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in the oven. They also can be made way in advance and frozen. I think they taste even better when frozen since the texture gets a bit crisper when reheated in the toaster oven. Ingredients: Serves Five (makes ten waffles)
1 cup can of pumpkin
1 2/3 cup milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 cup flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
