Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 lightly beaten egg
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • additional butter for greasing

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, canned pumpkin, melted butter, and beaten egg until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined; batter may be slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter until foamy and hot.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook for about 3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed.
  8. Serve warm with maple syrup and butter or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use freshly ground nutmeg and high-quality canned pumpkin. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and reheat gently.
