Pumpkin Pancakes

by Happy Stirring

Now that we are officially deep into the pumpkin season, I figured it would be time to introduce my parents to something new for breakfast! We are usually a Bisquick family, so I was happy to step out of our comfort zone and present them with something they’d never even thought of before. My boyfriend, however, was not pleased with the idea of the pumpkin and opted just to watch me eat the second course of our extravagant Saturday breakfast. This was not surprising at all coming from the man who pretends to vomit when I order a pumpkin spice coffee from Dunkin, yes I am one of THOSE girls.

All You Need Is:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 4 Tbsps unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon (or more depending on how much you love cinnamon)
  • 1 tsp nutmeg, allspice, ground ginger, and cloves
  • Mable syrup (for serving)
  • Large skillet, and extra unsalted butter to grease the pan

Step One: We all know pancakes are super easy, step one is obviously: combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth!

Now you might be thinking to yourself “Wow Laura, that looks like a lot more than 1 Tbsp of cinnamon, well folks it is. I was not paying attention to what end of the cinnamon I have flipped open, and thinking I was sprinkling some in through those nice little holes, I just ended up DUMPING the cinnamon in with the huge open mouth. SO it’s safe to say we ate some very cinnamony pancakes this morning, and that’s OK! They were still absolutely delicious!
You can literally see all the cinnamon that was dumped in.

Step Two: Heat your skillet over medium – high heat, and melt a sliver of butter in there, to cover the pan. Ladle the pancake mix in, and wait until your pancake starts to bubble, that’s when you know it’s time to flip it!

Keep repeating the process until you run out of pancake batter, and remember to butter your pan again between every batch!

Happy Flipping!
