Fun facts:

The use of pumpkin in waffles is believed to have been popularized by Thomas Jefferson, who served them at a White House dinner in 1801.

The addition of browned butter to this recipe is a nod to the French classic, Beurre Noisette, which translates to "hazelnut butter" and adds a nutty flavor to the waffles.
