Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups Milk
  • 1 Large egg
  • 0.25 cup Pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter plus extra for greasing

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls (2)
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or Frying Pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, pumpkin puree, and melted butter.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Test the heat by dropping a small amount of water onto the surface – it should sizzle immediately.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

Notes

For extra flavor, add ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the dry ingredients. You can also add chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter for a delicious twist.
