Pumpkin Waffles with Buttermilk Syrup

Waffles
2 c flour
2 T baking powder
1 T cinnamon
1 T sugar
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
4 egg yolks
4 egg whites
1 c pumpkin
1 T vanilla
1 ½ c milk
¾ c margarine, melted

Mix all dry ingredients in mixing bowl (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, and salt). Add milk, pumpkin, vanilla, margarine, and egg yolks and mix well. In separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and then fold into batter. Cook in waffle iron; top with Buttermilk syrup.

Buttermilk Syrup
¼ c butter (NOT margarine)
½ c buttermilk
1 c sugar
1 tsp light corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

In medium size pan, combine butter, buttermilk, sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will bubble a lot so make sure your pan is big enough. Serve over warm waffles. Enjoy!

Submitted by Alison: I got this recipe from my friend, Dessi. It is super easy to make and is DELICIOUS! We eat it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. The syrup is what really makes the dish. It's foamy and carmely and just plain tasty! My kids love these waffles. Eat them with some bacon or sausage to add some salty to the sweet and you will have perfection. :)
