Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 4 eggs, separated
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, and egg yolks. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
3. Gently stir the flour mixture and 1/4 cup of melted butter into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the batter until incorporated. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Cook the waffles in the preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.
4. To prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Gradually stir in the apple cider and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling for about 2 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until fully melted. Serve the waffles warm, drizzled generously with the homemade apple cider syrup.
