Method
- Preheat oven to 250 (to keep waffles warm after cooking). Preheat your Belgian waffle maker.
- Combine all dry ingredients through salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla, pumpkin puree, milk and two egg yolks. Whisk until they are of uniform consistency.
- Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. You don’t want to over mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until they reach stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the waffle mix until well combined.
- Spray your waffle maker with Pam and pour in half of the waffle batter (depending on waffle iron size) close and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they reach desired doneness.
