Pumpkin Pancakes!

Last year I made homemade pumpkin pancakes for the first time.  They were so delicious, thick, and filling.  This year, I pulled out the same recipe.  It's from allrecipes.com.  Here are some pics and instructions for super easy pumpkin pancakes from scratch.

Pumpkin Pancakes.  My annotations are in italics.
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt



Ingredients

STEP ONE: In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar.

 

STEP TWO: Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a separate bowl.

STEP THREE: Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine. Do not overmix. Pancake batter should be lumpy and bumpy, even when you make a Bisquick mix.

STEP FOUR: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. (I use unsalted butter). Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

This batter is thick, so the pancakes take a little longer than regular pancakes.  Just be patient and try not to rush it.  If you want a thinner batter, add more milk.

And they are ready to be topped with maple syrup and be eaten!

My daughter and I really enjoyed these pancakes.  In fact, she had one pumpkin pancake at daycare every day that week.  She loves them! 

I hope that you try this recipe and be wowed by your culinary skills - you know you have them!  A couple of weekends from now, I really want to try pumpkin waffles!
