Come one, come fall!Fall is in quite a hurry to get here - and might I just say...It's about friggin' time! I love the fall. Hot tea in the morning, long sleeved p.j.s at night, and all the delicious comfort food you can eat in between. On this - albeit rainy - Fall morning, my friend and I decided to make a fall-themed brunch. To make this happen, we needed to use the one ingredient that truly defines the autumn season = PUMPKIN! We decided on pumpkin spiced belgian waffles with whipped cream and pecans.
Ingredients:
1 can of pumpkin
pancake/waffle mix
milk
cinnamon
pure vanilla extract
pecans
heavy whipping cream
*the measurements that we used made 2 large waffles, so if you want more than that, adjust the rest of the ingredients to your desired amount
what to do: waffles
1. preheat waffle iron
2. pour 1 cup of mix into a mixing bowl
3. add in about 1/2 cup of pumpkin
4. add in 1/2 cup of milk
5. dash of cinnamon
4. splash of vanilla
5. [optional] add chopped pecans
6. mix together, pour onto waffle iron according to instructions
what to do: whipped cream
after the waffles are finished, or if you have an extra hand in the kitchen, start on the whipping cream - easy, double easy.
For the waffle measurements above, pour 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl, and mix on med-high speed until it thickens and is, well, whipped cream.
