Pumpkin Praline Waffles Recipe - Chef Marian Getz

Makes 6 waffles

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups cooked, pureed pumpkin
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1/3 cup raisins
4 eggs, separated (whites will be whipped separately)

Procedure:
1. In a large bowl whisk together all dry ingredients.
2. Add all wet ingredients minus egg whites. Whisk to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks (tips curl).
4. Fold whipped egg whites into batter.
5. Spray preheated Grill & Bake Express with nonstick baking spray. Scoop up a slightly rounded cup of batter and pour into the center of the baker. Using the bottom of the cup, gently but quickly nudge the batter towards the edges to even it out. Close the lid and flip over. Bake for 5 minutes until golden brown or to the
desired doneness.

Note: 
Grill & Bake Express is basically an electric grill with attachable waffle plates. If you don't own a Grill & Bake Express machine, try an ordinary waffle maker.
