Pumpkin Waffles With Hot Cider Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, salt, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin, milk, and egg yolks. Whip the egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form.
• Stir the flour mixture and 1/4 cup melted butter to the pumpkin mixture, stirring just to combine. Use a whisk or rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, stirring gently until incorporated. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Cook waffles according to manufacturer's instructions.
• To make the syrup, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Stir in the apple cider and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil; boil until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cider Syrup:.
• Place all ingredients except apple slices in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture is the consistency of maple syrup.
• Right before serving, add apple slices and heat for several minutes.
• Waffles:.
• Heat and lightly oil your waffle iron and preheat oven to 200.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, butter and vanilla. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just to blend.
• Beat the egg whites till stiff but not dry and fold into the batter.
• Cook the batter on the prepared waffle iron until the waffles are crisp, browned and come away easily from the iron.
• You can keep the waffles warm in the oven while the rest cook, but these waffles tend to "deflate" quickly, so they are really best right from the iron.
• Serve with the hot syrup.

Steps:

• Prepare apples and syrup: Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a 12-in. nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add honey, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, and apples. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are lightly glazed and have softened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon, the sugar, and cornstarch. Add apple cider and 5 teaspoons lemon juice and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring often, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 3 tablespoons butter.
• Make waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. In another medium bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale yellow; whisk in oil, buttermilk, and pumpkin.
• In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the balloon whisk, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add egg yolk mixture to flour mixture, stirring to combine. Gently fold in egg whites just until blended.
• Preheat oven to 200°. Preheat a waffle iron and coat it with cooking-oil spray. Ladle 1 cup batter (or amount directed by waffle-iron maker) onto hot iron, spreading with a spatula, and cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer waffle directly to oven rack. Repeat with remaining batter. Meanwhile, reheat apples and syrup.
• Break waffles into sections, divide among 8 plates, and top with apples and syrup. Serve remaining syrup on the side.
