Pumpkin Waffles

Kelly recently shared a recipe for pumpkin waffles, which we tried and everyone loved. However, I found the waffles a little difficult to get thoroughly done without being burnt on my waffle iron, so I adapted my favorite waffle recipe. The recipe below is doubled from the original so some waffles can go in the freezer, but the way the pumpkin ones disappear I have not yet frozen ANY!

Yeast Raised Waffles

• 3 ½ c. warm water or milk
• 1/3 c. oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup toasted wheat germ
• 4cups flour
• ½ c. brown sugar
• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons instant yeast

For Pumpkin waffles add:

• 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  2 teaspoon nutmeg
  2 teaspoon ground ginger
  
  
• 2 cup canned pumpkin

Beat all ingredients until blended well. Raise at least one hour or overnight in the refrigerator. Stir down. Bake in waffle iron for about 4 minutes.
