Ingredients | Gooseberry Falls State Park

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded

water to cover

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground ginger (Optional)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¾ cup brown sugar

1 cup milk

2 eggs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 serving cooking spray

Directions

Place acorn squash, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish; add enough water to reach a 1-inch depth. Cook squash in microwave until tender, about 20 minutes; allow to cool until easily handled. Scoop meat out of squash and discard peel.

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves in a bowl. Blend squash meat, brown sugar, milk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a food processor until smooth; mix into flour mixture until batter is smooth.

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the inside of the waffle iron with cooking spray.

Pour 1/4 to 3/4 cup batter (depending on size of waffle iron) into waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Repeat with remaining batter.

I cook all my acorns at once, puree with a little butter and brown sugar, and freeze in baggies to use throughout the winter.
