GingerBread Waffles

Ingredients:

• 4 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
• 4 Tsp baking powder
• 2 Tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 Tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 to 1 Tsp fresh ground nutmeg (It smells so good and yummy when you grate it!)
• 1/2 Salt
• 2/3 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1 Cup of Canned Pumpkin
• 1.25 cups of milk
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup Molasses

Mix the dry ingredients (Flour, baking powder, spices and salt) in a bowl and set aside.  Blend the sugar and eggs, and then add in the pumpkin, milk, butter and molasses.  The mixture will be very runny.  Slowly mix in the dry ingredients and stir together.  You do not need to over mix the batter.  Pour into your waffle iron and bake.
MM and Frog gave the recipe high praise.  It was more of a Belgian waffle, fluffy tasting recipe than what we are served at Java Jive.  Java Jive tastes much more cakey in texture.  However, the seasoning was fabulous, and it made the kitchen smell wonderful.  I’m pretty sure that we’ll be making them again, and the recipe makes a lot, so it would be great on Christmas morning!  Now I’ve just got to learn how to make lemon curd!
