Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground clove
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3 eggs
1 3/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled; plus more, softened, for serving
Nonstick cooking spray
Pure maple syrup and toasted pumpkin seeds, for serving
Preparation
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, spices, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together, eggs, milk, pumpkin and melted butter; add flour mixture and mix just until batter is combined.
Lightly coat waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about 1 cup batter into center of iron (amount may vary depending on size of iron), spreading evenly with a spatula. Cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from iron and quickly toss back and forth from hand to hand to cool slightly and allow waffles to crisp up. Transfer to rack in oven; repeat with remaining batter. Serve with butter, syrup and pumpkin seeds.
