Reviews
I added spices to the mix, rather than the syrup. Turned out excellent!
The waffle produced is a very basic pumpkin waffle and as the recipe description states, the flavor comes from the syrup (that is delicious). As written my kids were not huge fans but tweaking a bit with cinnamon and other pumpkin pie spices they liked them.
