In an effort to use up some pumpkin I had in the fridge I decided to make some pumpkin pancakes. While it does not use up a tremendous amount of pumpkin, it is helpful when you have just a whee bit left over from a recipe. Then again you can always freeze but sometimes always, I forget about it and wonder what the heck it is a year from now when I pull it out of the freezer. And if you have a dog, they will be more than happy to use up leftover pumpkin puree- it's good for their bellies too!
The children loved this. Said it tasted like a donut. And imagine that we did not use maple syrup. We broke out of our groove.
Pumpkin Pancakes
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (or mix 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of sugar)
1 1/2 cups milk (may need more or less depending on how soupy your pumpkin is- home made or canned)
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg
Whisk we ingredients until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl or measuring cup mix together dry ingredients. On a warm skillet, spread a little butter. Pour pancake shapes onto griddle. Heat until bubbles break on the surface - kind of a low heat. Flip and heat just a little more.
Spread butter on pancake and sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar. Voila- delicious, special breakfast is served.
