Pumpkin Waffles

As pumpkin enthusiasts, we are always curious to learn about the background and stories behind different foods. Take waffles, for example. Did you know that the modern waffle was first introduced in the United States in the 1700s? Thomas Jefferson even brought an iron waffle maker back from France and served them at the White House. These pumpkin waffles will add a fun twist to the traditional breakfast. Don't be afraid to sprinkle with chocolate chips or pecans and top with whipped butter or maple syrup.
