Pumpkin here,pumpkin there,pumpkin everywhere...
You know it`s fall when pumpkin recipes start to appear all over the internet, which does not bother me, `cos I`m a big pumpkin believer. Sweet or savory, put it on my plate!
Besides, who doesn`t love a warm, spicy pancake that makes your house smell wonderful? Grab yo pan.
Oh, besides, that brown, yucky looking thing on my pancake is nor poop neither mud. It is one of the best husbands for a pumpkin pancake: brown butter espresso topping with roasted salted peanuts. The topping hardens like a brittle and gets all nice and crunchy. Unfortunately...I forgot the ingredients and therefore, cannot give you the recipe for the topping, but the pancake is all yours.
Just pair these with some maple syrup, honey or even a dust of powdered sugar will do. They are that good even on their own. I`ll give myself a tap on the back for such an amazing recipe. Yeah, gurl!
1 cup pure pumpkin puree (I make it myself, the flavor is sometimes better depending on how sweet you pumpkin is)
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup milk
1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon spice blend (cinnamon,cloves,ginger,allspice)
Directions:
1. Preheat you pan on medium-low heat.
2.In a medium bowl, mix together the flour,salt,spice blend, baking powder, baking soda. Sifting these will result in a lighter, more air-y pancake, but if you`re feelin` lazy like me, leave them like that. Sifting is for losers.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and pumpkin puree. Add your milk. Pour these over the flour mixture and stir to combine. Do not overmix or you`ll have tough pancakes which is utterly unpleasant. Just stop yourself when you see no lumps of flour.
4. Pour a small amount of batter in your preheated pan and let it cook for aprox. 2 minutes or until you start to see bubbles forming around the edges. Flip it at once and cook it another 2 minutes.
5. Serve the pancakes warm with whatever topping you like and don`t forget to leave me a comment if you made these.
