Pumpkin Pancakes

Kaarin's Note:

Good any time of the year! My husband loves to grow pumpkins, so I have lots of pumpkin puree in my freezer, but canned puree works the same. Squash could also be used. The vinegar's purpose is to sour the milk and make these lighter. Yummy and filling!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 12.0 pancakes

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Combine the pumpkin, egg, milk, vinegar and oil. (I use the blender.).
2. Combine the remaining dry ingredients then add to the pumpkin mixture. Stir just till combined-DON'T overmix; a few small lumps are ok.
3. Heat a buttered griddle over medium low heat. (It's ready when a drop of water sizzles on it.).
4. Cook the pancakes till light golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Great served with butter and maple syrup or apple butter!

Awesome! Used 1 1/2 cups whole fat buttermilk instead of milk, vinegar & oil. Rose high, had beautiful pattern & crispy edges & tased fabulous with Grade B NY state maple syrup & rashers of thick cut hardwood smoked country bacon. This is a real keeper for texture, presentation & flavour! Thank you for posting Kaarin - we will use this one all winter long!
