Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

I am frequently disappointed by new pancake recipes I try. Some of the typical problems I run across with pancakes are they’re too flat, too hard to flip, they fall apart easily, or just don’t taste that good. So, when I do find a great pancake recipe, you can bet I hang onto it like a precious gem.

With all that said, THIS is a fabulous pancake recipe. I’ve made these pancakes twice in the last few weeks because they are just so darn delicious. They were gorgeously fluffy and substantial and packed with flavor. A perfect option for breakfast during the holiday season!

Ingredients:

• 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
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 Tablespoons vinegar

Directions:

In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Stir into the flour mixture just enough to combine.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
