Notes
- These pancakes can be made as big or as small as you like. Sometimes I make restaurant style giant pancakes, other times I spoon out 1-2 tablespoons of batter to make silver dollar sized pancakes.
- Be sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The pie filling contains added ingredients and won't work in this recipe.
- No buttermilk on hand? You can make your own by adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to 2 cups of milk, then let the mixture stand for 10 minutes before use.
