Instructions
1
Preheat your waffle iron. If you're planning to keep waffles warm until serving, preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
2
Melt the unsalted butter and set aside to cool slightly.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, grated ginger, ground cloves, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly using a handheld mixer or a rubber spatula until well blended.
4
Gently mix in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, beaten eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6
Pour the liquid mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined. Gently fold in the melted butter.
7
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray. Spoon 2/3 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Spread the batter evenly with a spatula and close the lid.
8
Cook until waffles are golden brown and release easily from the waffle iron. If needed, grease the grids again between batches.
9
Transfer cooked waffles to the oven to keep warm if necessary.
