- 1 tsp light corn syrup

Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Beat egg yolks slightly, add milk, pumpkin, butter and vanilla and mix well. Add to flour mixture and mix just until combined. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into the pumpkin mixture. Pour 1/4-1/2 cup onto preheated waffle iron and bake.
To make the syrup:

Notes
Nutrition facts are for the waffles only, not with the syrup, since the syrup recipe makes enough for a couple of batches. Unless you like a LOT of syrup. No judgement here!
