Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. This ensures an even distribution of spices and leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin purée, egg, and melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated. This blend adds moisture and flavor to the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the pancakes tough. Some lumps in the batter are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a greased skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to look set, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings to enhance the cozy fall flavors.
Notes
- Serve with classic maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Ensure the skillet is well greased to prevent sticking and achieve a golden crust.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ginger or cloves to the dry ingredients.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat gently in a toaster or microwave.
