Perfect Pumpkin Waffles with Cinnamon Syrup
From ~ The Sisters Cafe

Pumpkin Waffles:

1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
4 tablespoons butter, melted and warm

Combine brown sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl.  Whisk together to break apart the cornstarch.  Ad the remaining dry ingredients, and whisk to blend.  Add eggs, pumpkin, milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients.  Mix until just combined.  Preheat and lightly oil waffle maker.  Make according to your waffle maker directions.  Serve with whipped cream and cinnamon syrup.

Cinnamon Syrup:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3/4 cup buttermilk  or evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a pot over medium heat. Stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add baking soda and cinnamon. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the ‘fizz’ to reduce before serving.
