Tips & Tricks (5)

Toasting Pecans Technique 🥜
Always toast pecans before adding them to the waffle batter to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex, aromatic profile.
Pumpkin Moisture Magic 🎃
Drain excess liquid from canned pumpkin using a fine mesh strainer to prevent watery waffles and ensure a perfect, crisp texture.
Spice Blend Optimization 🌶️
Create a homemade pumpkin pie spice mix by combining fresh ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for a more vibrant and authentic fall flavor.
Waffle Iron Prep Perfection 🧇
Lightly brush the waffle iron with melted butter or oil before each pour to ensure crispy edges and easy waffle removal.
Batter Resting Trick 🕰️
Let the waffle batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to hydrate and create a lighter, more tender waffle.
