Leftover Pumpkin Pie Waffles Food

PUMPKIN SPICE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker.
• Whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, oil, maple syrup and egg yolks. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.
• Slowly mix the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until smooth, taking care not to overmix.
• In a separate large bowl, add the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer (or whisk vigorously by hand) until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
• Lightly spray your waffle iron with cooking spray or oil, then ladle the waffle mixture in. Cook per the manufacturer's instructions and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and chopped pecans.

PUMPKIN SPICE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist but slightly lumpy. Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes; keep warm in oven. Serve immediately.

DECADENT PUMPKIN PIE BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron.
• If you want to hold the finished waffles until serving time, preheat an oven to 200°F (93°C).
• Melt the butter, set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt.
• Using a rubber spatula, or handheld electric mixer, mix together well.
• Stir in the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
• The mixture will be thick and a little lumpy.
• Don't try to smooth it out; just mix until the ingredients are incorporated.
• In another bowl, beat together the milk, sour cream, eggs, rum and vanilla.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined.
• Fold in the melted butter.
• Whether or not your waffle iron's grids are well seasoned or made of a nonstick material, it is best to lightly butter or spray the grids for these waffles because the batter is quite sticky.
• Brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
• Spoon out 2/3 to 3/4 cup of batter for a Belgian waffle iron (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer's instructions) onto the hot iron.
• Use a metal spatula or wooden spoon to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid and bake until golden.
• If the waffle is hard to remove from the iron, peel it off gently and carefully. Serve immediately or keep the waffles, in a single layer, on a rack in the preheated oven while you make the rest.
• Serving: Serve these warm and golden, one to a diner, topped with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup. They're great with a cup of hot or cold cider.

LEFTOVER PUMPKIN PIE BRULEE

Steps:

• Peel crust off the outside of overturned pieces of pie and line the inside of small ramekins of coffee cups with the pie crust pieces. Spoon pumpkin pie filling (straight from the pie!) equally into small ramekins or stoneware coffee cups.
• Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the filling in each ramekin.
• Using a mini-torch, torch the top until sugar is caramelized. The ramekins can also be browned under a broiler. If using a broiler, stick the cups inside a pan filled with 1/2-inch of water and place under the broiler until just browned on top.
