Pumpkin Pancakes {Easy From-Scratch Recipe}

It's cold this morning…there's a freeze on the cars outside. Inside, we're cuddled in blankets and making Pumpkin Pancakes. I usually double this recipe and we make a bunch to freeze. Then, on busy mornings, we reheat them in the toaster or microwave.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, spices and salt.

Combine egg, milk and puree/oil; add all at once to flour mixture, stirring until blended but slightly lumpy.

Cook until golden brown, turning to cook other side when pancakes have a bubbly surface and slightly dry edges. Makes about eight 4-inch pancakes or 30 dollar-sized pancakes.

Making pancakes from scratch really doesn't take a lot more time than using a mix. If you keep the ingredients on hand regularly, you get the hang of it! If this looks too complicated for you, try my more basic recipe Whole Wheat Pancakes.
