1 1/2 c. milk

6 T. butter, melted

1 T. vanilla

4 eggs, seperated

2 c. flour

2 T. baking powder

1 T. sugar

1 T. cinnamon

1/2 t. nutmeg

1/4 t. coriandor

1/4 t. salt

Syrup ingredients:

1/2 c. butter

1 c. buttermilk

2 c. sugar

2 T. corn syrup

2 t. baking soda

* In large bowl whisk together pumpkin, milk, butter, vanilla and egg yolks.  In medium bowl mix flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriandor and salt.  Pour dry ingredients into wet and mix well.  In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and then fold into batter.  Cook.
