I had been planning on posting pumpkin pancakes but was trying to hold up until fall. I was having a hard time figuring out what to cook and had some pumpkin on hand I wanted to use up so I prepared a breakfast supper of Pumpkin Pancakes. Looking around the web there were quite a few different recipes for pumpkin pancakes but they all were pretty close to the same. Like most pancake recipes this Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe is simple to put together but when you add the milk into the recipe, add it a little at a time. I like to have my pancake batter to have the consistency, so that I can pour it into the griddle, but still on the thick side. The best tip I can give for making pancakes is be patient. Wait until bubbles form well on top of the pancake before you flip them. It seems like I always get anxious and rush the first one.
The next time you’re in the mood for pancakes give this Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe a try. It’s not your regular buttermilk pancake recipe, but for something different it’s really good.
- 1 3/4 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
- In a medium size bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
- Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine. (I like to have my pancake batter to have the consistency, so that I can pour it into the griddle, but still on the thick side-add more milk if necessary to thin it out a little bit-but do this carefully so it doesn’t get away from you.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle for the size pancakes you desire. Brown one side until the bubbles start to form in the batter on top, then flip the pancake and cook until done.
