Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour batter: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread gently, if needed, to shape the pancakes.
- Cook first side: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip pancakes: Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the opposite side is golden brown.
- Repeat cooking: Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed for each batch.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps ensure fluffy pancakes.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
- Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
- Try topping with nuts or whipped cream for extra texture and flavor.
