You should make these this weekend...

So with Halloween it's been a crazy week home, and I'm still recouping!!! So I arrived home last Friday at 1 a.m. and that day I drove to my sister's house to attend her ward's Trunk or Treat and so Madeleine and Dylan could play together. I wasn't planning on it at the time, but we ended up spending the night (after a 45 minute trip took 2 hours with Halloween rush hour!). I'm so glad I did because the next morning, Kayleen treated me to the most delicious pumpkin pancakes. They were to die for good, so good in fact that I made them this week for the missionaries who helped me blow leaves and mow my neglected lawn, so good that I'm making them again tomorrow.

I doubled the recipe when I made them for the Elders, so to simplify your mathematics, here it is:

Pumpkin Pancakes

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, spices and salt in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk together milk, pumpkin, melted butter, and egg.
  3. Fold mixture into dry ingredients.
  4. Spray or grease a skillet and heat over medium heat: pour in 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
  5. Cook pancakes about 3 minutes per side. Serve with butter and syrup.
  6. Makes about six 6-inch pancakes.

A note - when I made them I omitted the clove (I didn't have any ground clove on hand). The batter can be super thick so I used the measuring cup to kind of spread the batter out.

I also made the recommended cinnamon syrup, I wasn't too sure about it at first, but ended up really liking it.
