In honor of February, being National Hot Breakfast Month, here’s Mom’s copycat recipe for “Pumpkin Nut Waffles”; as seen in her self-published newsletter… Gloria Pitzer’s Monthly Cookbook of Secret Recipes (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; October 1981, p. 5). As always, I’m asking only for proper credit if you care to re-share it.
