In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.

In a separate, larger bowl, whisk together the large eggs, shaken buttermilk, fresh or canned pumpkin puree, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
5
Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary, then pour about 2 cups of the batter into the center of the lower grid, spreading it evenly toward the edges.
