Ingredients

For the Spiced Caramel:

  • 120g Soft Brown Sugar
  • 90g Unsalted Butter
  • 120ml Double Cream
  •   ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon

For the Batter:

  • 225g Self Raising-Flour
  • 1 tbsp Caster Sugar
  • 200ml Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Pumpkin Purée, cooked and cooled
  • 50g Butter, melted but cooled to room temperature
  •   ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 4 tbsp Clotted Cream
  • Handful of Pecans, to decorate
  • Sprinkle of Cinnamon for the top

  

Method

To make the caramel:

  1. In a heavy based pan, on a medium heat melt the sugar and the butter, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until melted and well mixed, ensuring you don’t burn the sugar.
  2. Turn the heat off and add in the cream little at a time, stirring as you go until it stops bubbling and creates a smooth, molten caramel.
  3. Add in the cinnamon, mix well and pour into a jug to cool.

To make the waffle batter:

  1. Mix the flour and the sugar well, in a large bowl. In a jug, mix all the wet ingredients, including the pumpkin.
  2. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well, using a whisk to gradually incorporate the flour and sugar.

To cook the waffles:

  1. Place your waffle maker on a heatproof surface, switch it on and let it get up to temperature. Pour in half the waffle mixture and cook for 5/6 minutes, until golden in colour. Repeat with the other half of the batter.
  2. Serve each waffle with two dollops of clotted cream, some whole and crushed pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon and drizzle of caramel. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.
