Light and Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Light and Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes combine all-purpose flour with warm spices and canned pumpkin puree into a batter mixed just until combined for tender pancakes. Cooking on a buttered skillet produces softly spiced griddled rounds, highlighting the pumpkin's moisture and spice depth without overmixing the batter to avoid toughness.

Ingredients
Dry
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar granulated white
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin not the pie filling, canned

Cup of Yum
Cook the pancakes
- Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Go bigger if you wish, but know it will take longer.
- Cook pancakes about 3 minutes per side.
- Devour.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine to maintain pancake tenderness.
- Brown sugar can be substituted for granulated sugar to add a deeper flavor.
