These waffles will send you to heaven.  Enjoy!!!

2 cups flour

2 tbsp. baking powder

1 tbsp. cinnamon

1 tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. salt

4 eggs, separated

1 1/2 cups milk

1 cup pumpkin

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 tsp. vanilla

Combine first 6 ingredients.  Separate the eggs and beat the yolks slightly.  (I made them without seperating the eggs and they turned out great.)  Add the milk, pumpkin, butter and vanilla.  Add the flour mixture.  Beat eggs and fold into the flour mixture.

Most of my family eat the syrup with a little bit of waffle.   Yummy!!!!

Butter Syrup

1/2 cup butter  (one stick)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

Combine first four ingredients in large pan.  (Mix will fizz to twice it's height.)  Bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla.  Let sit stirring occasionally until fizz is gone.  Serve over waffles.
