1. Preheat your waffle iron.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and Taste Tutor Brown Spice.

3. In a large bowl, mash roasted and cooled sweet potatoes. Then add in brown sugar, milk, egg yolks, oil, vanilla, whiskey, orange zest, and whisk until all ingredients are well mixed.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with a stand mixer, hand mixer, or by hand until stiff peaks form and set aside.

5. Add dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture and stir until relatively smooth.

6. Gently fold egg whites into the batter until you no longer see any white..

7. Once, you’re ready to make your waffles, if the waffle iron is non-stick, no need to spray it, but if it does stick sometimes, go ahead and spray with nonstick spray.

8. Pour two level 1/3 measuring cups worth of batter into the center of the waffle iron.

9. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until your waffle iron beeps that its ready

10. Serve immediately. Great with orange compound butter and maple syrup. Also great with Southern Buttermilk Fried Chicken!

Tip: This freezes well. Freeze waffles in a flat layer, uncovered, until completely frozen. One frozen, you can stack them and store in an air tight container up to 6 months. My dad vacuum seals them to keep them longer.

Reheat leftovers: Reheat waffles in the oven, air fryer, or toaster.
