Pumpkin Waffles with Buttermilk Syrup

This is a recipe I've adopted as a family tradition.  I love to make these waffles for General Conference in the fall and for Thanksgiving break or even Thanksgiving Day.  I love the smell of these waffles as they cook and it's so fun when you're family comes to expect the pumpkin waffles.  

Waffles:

2 C Flour

2 T baking powder

1 T sugar

1/4 t. salt

1 T. cinnamon

1/2 t. nutmeg

1/4 t. coriander

To dry ingredients add:

4 egg yolks (save the whites)

1 C pumpkin

1 T vanilla

1 1/2 C milk

3/4 cube melted butter

Stir all together.  Then whip egg whites, and fold into batter.  

Buttermilk Syrup: 

1 cube butter

1 C buttermilk

2 T light corn syrup

2 C sugar

Mix these ingredients in a LARGE saucepan.  Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

Then Add:

2 t. vanilla 

2 t. baking soda

Stir briskly.  It will foam up a lot!  

Enjoy!

I would double the waffle batch.  They freeze really well.  I already doubled the syrup.
