Servings: persons

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pumpkin puree (you can use canned puree)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1 pinch salt
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
vanilla ice cream, for serving
maple syrup, for serving

1
Preheat a waffle iron.
2
If you want to hold the finished waffles until serving time, preheat an oven to 200u00b0F (93u00b0C).
3
Melt the butter, set aside.
4
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt.
5
Using a rubber spatula, or handheld electric mixer, mix together well.
6
Stir in the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
7
The mixture will be thick and a little lumpy.
8
Don't try to smooth it out; just mix until the ingredients are incorporated.
9
In another bowl, beat together the milk, sour cream, eggs, rum and vanilla.
10
Add the liquid ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined.
11
Fold in the melted butter.
12
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.
13
Brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
14
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.
15
Use a metal spatula or wooden spoon to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid and bake until golden.
16
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.
17
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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
