Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: add 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of milk, and 2 large eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If necessary, lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of cooking spray or melted butter.
- Once the waffle iron is preheated, pour an appropriate amount of batter (about 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and keep them warm in an oven set to low heat while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the whipped cinnamon honey butter. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until it is fluffy and well combined.
- Once all the waffles are cooked, serve them warm topped with a generous dollop of whipped cinnamon honey butter. Optionally, drizzle additional honey or sprinkle some extra cinnamon on top for added flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious pumpkin waffles with whipped cinnamon honey butter as a perfect breakfast or brunch treat!
Tips
- Don't overmix your batter! Lumpy batter is your friend - it ensures light and fluffy waffles.
- Preheat your waffle iron completely before adding batter to get that perfect crispy exterior.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter integration.
- If you want extra-rich waffles, substitute half the milk with buttermilk.
- Keep cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the rest.
- For the honey butter, ensure your butter is truly softened for the easiest whipping.
- Experiment with toppings like chopped nuts, extra cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast later!
