Spicy Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

Spicy Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

1 1/4 cups unbleached flour
2 Tbs sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice (you can use 1-2 tsp pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon and allspice)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten

Method

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Lightly spray a griddle pan with oil OR melt 2 tsp butter on the griddle pan on medium-low heat. Keeping the pan on medium-low heat, heat the pan until a drop of water "dances" and sizzles away. Use a measuring cup or a scoop to drop pancake batter onto the griddle. Cook until the pancake is dry at the edges and there are little bubbles all over the top - then carefully flip over with a large spatula. Continue to cook for another minute or two til the pancake is done.

Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.

I love to make these as silver dollar pancakes for children...drizzle with maple syrup and for an extra special treat drizzle on a little Salted Caramel Sauce as well!
