A taste of FALL

If there is one thing I don't like it is pancakes from a box. Yuck!  No flavor and they are usually really dense.

Ever since I was little my dad made us the best pancakes ever!  In fact I didn't even know you could make pancakes from a box till I was older.

Each time I make pancakes I like to change them up a bit, adding different ingredients and trying new flavors.

Well, I found another winner!

My husband and I love pumpkin pancakes and have been making them for years.  But since we have moved and I packed all my recipes up I had to look for a new recipe.  Which was a blessing in disguise because I found a recipe that was even yummier!!! Of course I still put my own twist on and I never make it the same way twice but that is why I love cooking!!

So here is a tasty little fall breakfast item..... Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes. (Even better!  There isn't any oil!)

Using fresh pumpkin is always better, I think, but you can also used canned.


Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

2 C Flour
3/4 C Sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp Bak. Powder
2 tsp Bak. Soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4-1/2 tsp cloves (optional)
1/4-1/2 tsp allspice
3/4 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 C Sour Crm
3/4 C milk
1 C pumpkin (puree)

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Mix wet ingredients in separate smaller bowl.

Add wet to dry and stir just till moistened.  The key to pancakes, just like cake, is to not over stir!

Enjoy and serve with your favorite homemade syrup!!

Because homemade is always better than store bought!
