Pumpkin Waffles with the most AMAZING buttercream syrup

We had this for breakfast over at a friends house a couple weeks ago and I couldn't stop eating it! Perfect combination of flavors for a warm, fall breakfast. Thanks for sharing Jamie! (The original recipe comes from Jen on her "Yummy Fun" blog).

2 c. Flour

2 T. Baking Powder

1 T. Cinnamon

1 T. Sugar

1/2 t. Nutmeg

1/4 t. Salt

Combine above ingredients and set aside.

4 eggs - separated and reserve the egg whites

1/2 c. milk

1 c. Pumpkin

3/4 c. soft Butter
1 T. Vanilla

Blend the egg yolks with milk, butter, pumpkin and vanilla until creamy. Combine with dry ingredients until smooth and creamy. Whip the egg whites until peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter and mix lightly until just combined. Batter will be thick. Bake in preheated waffle iron. Serve with buttercream syrup. (recipe follows).

Buttercream Syrup:

*this is one of the MOST AMAZING syrups/sauces ever made. ever. You can literally eat spoonfuls of it at a time. It is so good on these waffles, and we used the leftovers to dip apples in later for a snack. SO GOOD.

1 c. White Sugar

1/2 c. Brown Sugar

1 Stick Butter

Combine in a small sauce pan until bubbly. Refrigerate remaining and use again next time.
