how to make PUMPKIN PANCAKES.

Ingredients

3 c self - rising flour

1/4 tsp salt

3 eggs

2 1/2 c milk

4 Tbsp butter, melted

1/2 c sugar

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 can pumpkin (15 oz)

1 tsp orange zest chopped fine (optional)

Instructions

1. in a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and spice

2. in a separate, small bowl, beat the eggs a little and add the milk and beat a little more

3. melt the butter in the microwave

4. pour the egg mixture into the flour and beat until combined

5. add the butter and sugar and beat

6. add the pumpkin (and orange zest if you're using it) and beat until combined

7. pour out 2 oz portions on a griddle heated to 300 or cook on the stove - it is easier if you use a 2 oz ladle - also make sure you use butter or cooking spray on your griddle/pan because these will stick - I use cooking spray

8. the pancakes are ready to flip when the edges start to look a little dry and bubbles are rising to the surface and popping

9. butter them as they come off the heat while they're nice and hot so the butter melts

10. we used maple syrup on these but they would be good with others like orange.
