Pumpkin Waffles

Waffles can be served any time of the day - breakfast, tea time or as snacks and I even have them for lunch.  Let me share with you this recipe which uses pumpkin, which is my family's favorite food.  This recipe has a soft texture and can be easily warm up using an Oven Toaster.  I can eat it plain as the sweetness is "just nice" without additional drizzles of maple syrup or honey.  

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups plain flour (sifted)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder (sifted)
1 tsp cinnamon powder (sifted)
1/4 tsp ginger powder (sifted)
1/8 tsp nutmeg powder (sifted)
1 cup buttermilk (I mix 1 cup milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice)
1 cup pumpkin (cooked and mashed)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3 tbsp melted butter

Methods:

1. Combine plain flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, ginger powder and nutmeg powder in a bowl and stir to mix.
2. In another bowl combine buttermilk, pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs and melted butter and whisk to combine.
3. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
4. Preheat waffle maker until hot, brush lightly some cooking oil and pour a ladle of mixture on both sides (I did not level the mixture), cover with the top portion of the waffle maker and let it cook. Cook for a longer time than the usual regular waffles.  Repeat until all is done.
5. Serve either hot or at room temperature; and eat it plain or drizzle any of your favorite syrup.
