Pumpkin Buttermilk Biscuits with Crispy Ham

Nothing says weekend like a fresh batch of waffles, specifically buttermilk waffles.

I love the tangy taste the buttermilk adds. I’ve always loved waffles but my obsession with buttermilk ones has become so bad that I rarely order waffles when dining out for brunch now because I’m usually disappointed. What’s the saying? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

While my go-to weekend recipe is the tried and true Buttermilk Waffles from Martha Stewart (legend, but that’s a topic for another time..), I found it hard to find a pumpkin waffle recipe I was excited about. After doing some digging, I came across the Buttermilk Pumpkin Waffles from Kitchn.

I found the pumpkin flavor was just subtle enough and they had great texture, obviously the tang from the buttermilk was an added bonus. Don’t forget, if you don’t keep buttermilk in your fridge, you can always make your own!
