PUMPKIN PANCAKES Breakfast meets autumn in these flavorfully-spiced, pumpkin-laced pancakes. They are as tasty with a drizzle of sweet maple syrup as they are with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nuts. Quick and easy to prepare, they’re sure to make a regular appearance on your breakfast rotation. INGREDIENTS INSTRUCTIONS • • • • • • • • • 1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, spice, and salt until evenly incorporated. 1 1/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1/3 cup pumpkin purée, homemade or canned 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil 1 large egg 2. In a separate bowl or measuring cup whisk together the milk, pumpkin, melted butter, and egg. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until evenly moistened. 4. Heat a large pan over medium heat or preheat a griddle to 350°F; the surface is hot enough when a droplet of water skitters across it. Lightly grease the pan with butter or vegetable oil. 5. Spoon the batter, 1/4 cup at a time, into the pan; a scone and muffin scoop works well here. 6. Cook on the first side until the edges of the pancakes start to look dry, about 2 to 3 minutes, then flip the pancakes over, and continue to cook until the bottoms are brown, an additional 2 minutes. 7. Serve immediately or transfer cooked pancakes to the oven to stay warm, if desired. 83 VTMAG.com VTMAG.com 79
