It is that time of the year again! Time to break out all things pumpkin. I absolutely love to cook and I particularly love to make pancakes. Growing up my dad used to make these pancakes for me and my sisters.
Now I like to add my own spin - my dad only really made your traditional pancake. I like to add some fall flavor to them.
I added Pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice and a dash of vanilla extract to a family pancake recipe. I bet it would also work if you added these to a pancake mix out of a box.
I added about a cup of pumpkin puree and then pretty much just added everything else to taste.
Don't worry! The batter is supposed to be orange. It means you've added enough pumpkin.
Make sure your pan is buttered and heated up completely before adding your batter. This ensures a nice evenly cooked pancake.
Yum! You know its time to flip the pancake when it starts to bubble a little and the edge of the pancake goes a little "dull." Keep in mind the second side tends to cook faster than the first!
You can also add some yummy chocolate chips or fruit!
I love to experiment with different flavors. Simply take a basic recipe and add your own twist!
Also, save the leftover pumpkin and you can make pumpkin cookies (hint hint)
Love,
Malena
