Pumpkin Waffles

2 C flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp coriander (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 1/2 C milk
1 C pumpkin
3/4 C butter, melted
1 Tbsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients and set aside (I never do this actually - I just mix it all in). Separate eggs and beat yolks slightly. Add milk, pumpkin, melted butter and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into pumpkin mixture. Bake in waffle iron and serve with buttermilk syrup - yummy!

Buttermilk Syrup (make this before you start the waffles)
1 stick butter
1 C sugar
1/2 C buttermilk
1 tsp corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Bring first four ingredients to boil in an extra-large pan (really! You'll need it!) Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Mixture will fizz to twice its height. Let set, stirring occasionally, until fizz is gone (takes longer than you think!).
