Pumpkin Pie Waffles
These may never replace pumpkin pie at a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but they will give tradition a good race. Like pumpkin pie, they are comforting, custardy and filling. The waffles are made with the same spices used for pumpkin pie along with sour cream for smoothness; the dark rum is there for extra flavor and a little mystery.
