What is the secret to making good waffles?

The secret to making good waffles is not to overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough. Mix the dough until it just comes together. A few lumps are ok! Also, the trick is to use a hot waffle iron and try not to peek!

Why is waffle mix different than pancake mix?

While they're similar, waffle mixes typically have more fat, which ensures crispier exteriors.

How do you make waffles more moist?

Adding ingredients like yogurt or buttermilk can help! For moist pumpkin waffles, the pumpkin puree does the trick.

Is waffle mix more watery than pancake?

Generally, yes. Waffle batter tends to be thinner to get that crispy exterior and fluffy interior.

Is it better to make waffles with oil or butter?

Both can work! Butter adds a rich flavor, while oil ensures a crispier texture.

Should you let the waffle batter rest?

A short rest allows the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate, making fluffier waffles.

Instructions

Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and kosher salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and melted butter.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and mix in the wet ingredients until just combined. Lumpy batter is ok!
Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray (top and bottom plates). Spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the waffle maker (generally about ½ cup per waffle) and close the top.
Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions or until the waffles are as crisp as you like them. I usually turn to the medium setting on my waffle maker, but all appliances will cook at different rates. So please follow your manufacturer's instructions.
Repeat with the remaining batter, and don't forget to spray the waffle iron top and bottom plates with every set.
Top with whipped cream, real maple syrup or diced pecans.

Notes
