Pumpkin Waffles

I know some people may be sick of pumpkin recipes. I am not one of them. I look forward every fall to the beautiful winter squashes and pumpkins that fill the farm markets. This is a simple and tasty recipe that will make breakfast special. Because of the pumpkin- or cooked squash- these waffles need to be cooked until golden brown to be crispy. I love them with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar. They would also be great as the base for chicken and waffles.

Pumpkin Waffles

¾ c. mashed, cooked pumpkin or winter squash
½ c. flour
1 egg, beaten
¾ c. half and half or milk
1 T. melted butter or oil
1 tsp. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
½ t. nutmeg
½ tsp. salt
Pinch of cloves

Combine all ingredients, mixing until smooth. Cook in prepared waffle iron until golden brown.
