Do you love cozy fall mornings? You must try this Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
- 3 tablespoons of white sugar.
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- 1 1/2 cups of whole milk.
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree.
- 1 large egg.
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder together. Add the soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir in the salt very well. Make sure there are no large lumps.
Whisk the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, mix the milk and pumpkin. Add the egg and melted butter. Stir in the vanilla extract slowly. The mixture should look very smooth.
Combine the Two Bowls
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir them together with a large spoon. Do not overmix the pancake batter. A few small lumps are totally fine.
Heat Up the Griddle
- Put your pan over medium-low heat. Grease it with a little bit of butter. Let the pan get nice and hot. This ensures a golden brown crust.
Pour the Batter
- Use a ladle to pour the batter. Use about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Space them out on the hot griddle. Do not let them touch each other.
Look for Bubbles
- Wait for bubbles to form on top. The edges should look dry and set. This usually takes about three minutes. Use your spatula to check the bottom.
Flip and Finish
- Flip the pancake over very carefully. Cook for two more minutes until golden. The center should feel firm and bouncy. Remove them to a warm plate.
Notes
- Use real pumpkin puree, not pie filling.
- Pie filling has too much extra sugar.
- Keep your griddle at a steady heat.
- If it is too hot, they burn.
- If it is too low, they get tough.
- Let the batter rest for five minutes.
- This makes the pancakes much fluffier.
- Use butter for frying for better flavor.
- It gives the edges a nice crunch.
- Serve them with toasted pecans on top.
- They add a very nice texture.
- Always use fresh spices for the best scent.
- Old spices lose their warm flavor quickly.
