Here is how you make Acorn Squash Waffles:

First, make your roasted acorn squash. Heat your oven to 375 degrees F and cut your squash in half lengthwise. Line a baking sheet with foil and place your squash, cut side down, on top. Pour about ? cup of water into the sheet and bake for 30 minutes or so, until the squash is tender. Allow it to cool slightly, then scoop the flesh out from the skin and puree in a blender or food processor with the honey. Set aside until ready to use ? you can prepare the puree up to 3 days in advance. Mine made about 2 cups of puree, so I made these waffles twice that week.When you are ready to make your waffles, whisk together your flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt and set aside.Separate your egg yolks and whites. Use a whisk to froth your egg whites, whisking vigorously for 3-4 minutes. In another large bowl, whisk together your buttermilk, roasted acorn squash puree, melted butter, honey, 2 egg yolks and vanilla. Whisk in the dry ingredients, then fold in the frothed egg whites.Using your waffle iron according to its factory directions, heat and grease (if needed) the iron and pour on about 1 to 1? cups of batter (more or less again, depending upon your iron). Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove and continue with the rest of your batter. I kept my extra waffles warm in a 250 degree F oven while the others cooked.Serving Size: makes 5 round belgian waffles (10 servings)Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user EJSELHORST.
