I make killer WAFFLES using canned pumpkin pie filling or fresh home made puree depending on the season. I’m no expert, and no professional, but for some reason the same mix that makes good waffles, makes terrible pan cakes…… I do dilute the batter for pan cakes, and use it thicker for waffles. I make it a point to undo the health benefits of the pumpkin by adding melted butter to the mix……
