  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 4 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
  • 1 pinch cream of tartar
  • 5 Tbsp (56g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup (235 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (235ml) buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees and preheat a Belgian waffle iron to medium heat.

  • To a separate medium mixing bowl add egg whites and cream of tartar, then using an electric hand mixer set on high speed, whip until soft peaks form, then add 2 Tbsp of the granulated sugar and whip until medium-stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl whisk together milk, buttermilk, canola oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, egg yolks and remaining 3 Tbsp granulated sugar.
  • While whisking, slowly pour milk mixture into flour mixture and mix just until combined (batter will be slightly lumpy), then fold egg whites into batter.
  • Spray waffle iron lightly and evenly with cooking spray then pour necessary amount (whatever fills your waffle iron, mine was a scant cup) into waffle iron and cook according to manufactures directions.
