Description

Discover the taste of autumn in every bite! Our pumpkin waffles are the perfect combination of fluffy, light batter with the deep, slightly sweet flavor of pumpkin purée and a warming blend of spices – cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. They have a beautiful, appetizing orange color and fill the whole house with a wonderful, soothing aroma. They are incredibly easy to prepare, and the final result delights both children and adults. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they make an excellent base for your favorite toppings. Serve them warm, generously drizzled with maple syrup, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted pecans. It's the perfect idea for a lazy weekend breakfast, an elegant dessert, or a hearty afternoon snack on a chilly day.

Preparation steps

Preparing the dough

1

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Place a sieve in it and sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder through it. Then add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Sifting aerates the flour and prevents lumps from forming, which is crucial for the fluffiness of the waffles.

Ingredients: Mąka pszenna tortowa (typ 450), Baking powder, Brown sugar, Ground cinnamon, Ground ginger, Ground nutmeg, Salt
Use a large bowl to have enough space for mixing later. A whisk is best for combining dry ingredients, as it effectively aerates and mixes them.
2

In a second, medium-sized bowl, prepare the wet ingredients. Crack the eggs and lightly beat them with a fork or whisk. Add the pumpkin puree and milk. Mix everything vigorously until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture with an orange color. Make sure there are no lumps of puree.

Ingredients: Chicken egg (size L), Pumpkin purée, Milk 3.2%
If your pumpkin puree is very thick, you can first mix it with a little milk before adding the rest of the ingredients – this will help achieve a smooth consistency.
3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Be careful not to burn it – it should only be liquid. Set it aside for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly. Then, slowly pour the cooled butter into the bowl with the wet ingredients, whisking continuously. This will ensure that the butter combines evenly with the mixture and does not curdle the eggs.

Ingredients: Masło 82%
The butter should not be hot, as it could 'cook' the eggs, creating unwanted scrambled eggs in the dough. It should be cool enough to comfortably insert a finger into it.
4

Now combine the contents of both bowls. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the entire wet mixture into it. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix the ingredients with an up-and-down motion, just until they come together. There may be small lumps in the batter – this is normal.

The biggest mistake is mixing the batter too long and too intensely! This causes gluten development, which will make the waffles tough and chewy instead of fluffy after baking. Mix briefly, just until the ingredients are combined.
5

Set the prepared dough aside for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Cover the bowl with a cloth. This step, called 'resting the dough', allows the flour to absorb the liquids, the gluten to relax, and the baking powder to start working. This will make the waffles more tender and fluffy.

In the meantime, you can prepare the toppings: chop the nuts, whip the cream, and turn on the waffle maker to heat up. This is the perfect time to organize your work.

Baking Waffles

6

Preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Most devices have a control light that turns off or changes color when the appropriate temperature is reached. Once the waffle maker is hot, open it and gently brush both heating plates with a thin layer of rapeseed oil using a silicone brush. Repeat this step before each batch of waffles to prevent sticking.

Ingredients: Rapeseed oil for greasing
Use a silicone brush, it is heat-resistant and allows for even distribution of oil. Be careful of the hot steam rising when opening the waffle maker.
7

Pour a portion of batter into the center of the lower plate of the waffle maker. The amount of batter depends on the size of the device – usually, it is about 1/2 to 2/3 cup (or one large ladle). The batter should cover most of the surface, but leave some space at the edges, as it will rise during baking. Close the lid of the waffle maker without pressing down.

It's better to put on too little batter than too much. If you put on too much, the batter will overflow from the sides, creating a mess. After the first waffle, you'll know the ideal amount for your waffle maker.
8

Bake the waffles for about 3-5 minutes. The baking time depends on the power of the waffle maker. A good indicator is steam – when it stops coming out of the device intensely, the waffles are close to being ready. Open the lid and check. A finished waffle should be evenly golden-brown and crispy. If it is still pale, close the lid and bake for another minute.

Do not open the waffle maker too early! If you do it in the first minute of baking, the waffle may tear. Patiently wait until the steam almost stops escaping.
9

Gently lift the finished waffle and remove it from the waffle maker using a wooden stick, silicone spatula, or fork. Transfer it to a metal cooling rack. Repeat steps 6-9 until you use up all the batter. Placing the waffles on the rack instead of a plate prevents them from steaming and keeps them crispy.

Never use metal tools (knives, forks) to remove waffles, as they can scratch and damage the non-stick coating of the waffle maker. A cooling rack is your best friend here!

Serving

10

Serve the waffles immediately after baking, when they are the tastiest – warm and crispy. Stack them on a plate, drizzle generously with maple syrup, and garnish with chopped pecans. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Ingredients: Pecan nuts, Maple syrup
If you want all the waffles to be warm when serving, you can keep them in an oven preheated to 80-90°C, arranged on a rack in a single layer.

Fun Fact

💡

The word 'waffle' comes from the Old French word 'wafel', which in turn derives from the Frankish 'wafla', meaning 'honeycomb'. The first waffle irons, consisting of two decorated iron plates connected by a hinge, appeared as early as the 13th century!

Tips

🍽️ Serving

To fully celebrate the autumn character of the dish, stack 2-3 waffles on a plate. Drizzle them generously with real maple syrup. On top, place a large dollop of freshly whipped cream (you can season it with a pinch of cinnamon). Finish with a sprinkle of coarsely chopped, lightly toasted pecans. For an extra touch, you can dust the dish with powdered sugar. Waffles pair wonderfully with hot coffee with milk or a mug of cocoa.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover waffles, wait until they are completely cool. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To regain their crispiness, do not reheat them in the microwave! It's best to place them in a toaster, toaster oven, or in an oven preheated to 180°C for a few minutes. They can also be frozen – lay them on a tray, and after freezing, transfer them to a bag. Frozen waffles can be reheated directly in the toaster.
