Pumpkin Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, salt,

and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together

the pumpkin, milk, and egg yolks. Whip the egg whites in a clean

dry bowl until soft peaks form.

Stir the flour mixture and 1/4 cup melted butter to the pumpkin

mixture, stirring just to combine. Use a whisk or rubber spatula to

fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, stirring gently until

incorporated. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Cook waffles

according to manufacturer's instructions.

To make the syrup, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and

cinnamon in a saucepan. Stir in the apple cider and lemon juice.

Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil; boil until the

syrup thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of

butter until melted. Serve warm.
