Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1¾ cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Equipment

  • 2 Mixing bowls one for dry, one for wet ingredients
  • Whisk or fork To mix smoothly
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle For even cooking.
  • Spatula To flip without breaking them
  • Ladle or ¼ cup measure
  • Cooking spray or butter To grease the pan.

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. Ensure the ingredients are well combined, then set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together 1¾ cups of buttermilk, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a whisk until just combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a quick spray of cooking spray or a small pat of butter to prevent sticking. Test the heat by flicking a drop of water onto the skillet; it should sizzle.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for pancakes around 4 inches wide. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges are set, then flip.
  6. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and firm. Between batches, add more butter or cooking spray as needed. Stack the pancakes high on a plate and serve!
