I Love... Breakfast

I'm such a lover a cold cereal I often forget how many other yummy breakfast foods are out there. Our friends invited us over for breakfast Saturday morning and they made some absolutely amazing pumpkin waffles.  Words can't do justice to how fabulous these are. One of the best things I've eaten in a long time. Thanks Melanie & Kirk for a great morning!

Pumpkin Waffles

2 cups flour
2 T. baking powder
1 T. cinnamon
1 T. Sugar
½ t. nutmeg
¼ t. salt

Mix the above together in separate bowl.

4 eggs ( separate egg whites in separate bowl and beat to stiff peaks) add yellow part of egg with the rest of ingredients. 
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup pumpkin
¾ cup butter
1 T. Vanilla

Mix the above in separate bowl. Then add to flour mixture. Cook in (Belgian) waffle iron.

This syrup made these even more delicious.

Carmel Syrup

1 cube butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup buttermilk
1 t. Karo Syrup

Heat on Med. Till it comes to low boil and remove from heat and Add:

1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla

Use a large pan because once the baking soda is added it grows in the pan. (Melanie says she always doubles the syrup recipe.)  

YUM!

Melanie has mentioned this recipe, so I'm so glad you posted it. I'll have to try it myself..only problem is I need to pick up a waffle iron!

Julie, I am just going to call you the next Rachel Ray!! Those waffles sound delightful!! The caramel syrup sounds exactly like syrup Andy makes. Only we use real french bread with it and sop up the syrup. It is sooooo yummy. Hope all is well with you.

You should know that I check your blog everyday. I miss you. It has been quite the adjustment, but we are making it! I cannot wait to try these. It will have to be back in the states though...pumpkin is well over $4 a can here for just 15 oz. We also don't have a waffle iron here!

I love your new header! Very cute! That Melanie can cook! Her veggie pizza appetizer thing is sooooo good. I don't know if my waistline can handle being friends with you and Melanie....:)

I made these for breakfast this morning, and they were delicious! I love any pumpkin baked goods, and these did NOT disappoint. I love carmel so much I can't wait to try them again when I have more butter! I was sad to open my freezer and see I had none.

Thanks for the great recipe!

Wow! These sound good. I'm going to have to try and convert them to an allergen-free version for my boys ;)
