Pumpkin-Nut
Belgian Waffles
These waffles taste like freshly baked pumpkin
muffins and are delicious served with warm
maple syrup.
Makes approx. 6 waffles
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1
ounce finely chopped walnuts or
pecans (best if toasted first)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
¾ cup pumpkin purée
(canned solid-pack pumpkin)
2 large eggs, separated
1 cup whole milk
¼ cup real maple syrup (do not use
pancake syrup)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter,
melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large egg whites
In a large bowl, combine the flour, chopped nuts,
cornstarch, baking powder, salt, cinnamon,
ginger, and nutmeg. Stir to blend and reserve.
In a second bowl, combine the pumpkin purée,
egg yolks, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and
vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Add the liquid
ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to
blend until smooth, using a whisk.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until
stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg
whites into the batter.
Preheat your Cuisinart
®
Belgian Waffle Maker on
setting #4 or preferred setting* (indicator light
will be illuminated when preheated).
For best results, do not open waffle maker
during cooking process. Doing so will offset the
timing mechanism.
When the waffle grids are preheated, open the
lid. Fill the provided batter cup to the top with
batter. If using a standard measuring cup, fill to
¾ cup. Pour into waffle grids. Use a heatproof
spatula to spread the batter evenly over the
grids. Close cover and rotate 180˚ to the right.
Bake the waffles until the Ready light illuminates,
indicating the waffle is done. Rotate 180˚ to the
left. Remove waffle and repeat with remaining
batter. Waffles may be kept warm in a low
(200°F) oven. Place waffles arranged on a cookie
sheet on a rack in the oven. Serve with warm
maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped
cream.
*We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a
golden-brown, baked Belgian waffle. Adjust the
browning control if you prefer lighter or darker
waffles.
