Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Fall is my favorite season of the year and I had to kick off this season with a pumpkin recipe! This recipe was born while I was pondering on what to make for my bible study group one afternoon. It was my turn to host bible study and I have always been a big fan of breakfast for dinner so I thought of pancakes and then I thought of pumpkin spice, after all, it was the first day of Fall. So, I added some pumpkin spice to my pancake batter and it was a bible study dinner hit! I have fallen in love with these pancakes and I hope you enjoy them around your table too!
Equipment
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Non-stick Griddle
- 1 Turner Spatula
- 1 Small Sauce Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour - Unbleached
- 2 tsp Pumpkin Spice
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 tbsp Salted Butter - Melted
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- Warm Maple Syrup - Optional, but highly encouraged!
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, melt 3 tbsp of salted butter over low heat on the stovetop.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle to 350 degrees.
- Grab a medium mixing bowl and add 1 cup of unbleached all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp of granulated sugar. Whisk all of these dry ingredients together until well combined.
- Time to add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; within the same medium mixing bowl that the dry ingredients are in, add 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 large egg, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp of the melted butter. Whisk all ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Finally, whisk in 2 tsp of pumpkin spice until evenly combined within the pancake batter.
- Add butter to your preheated non-stick griddle and scoop 1 cup of pancake batter at a time to the griddle; 1 cup scoop to equal 1 pancake. I use a large ice cream scoop to do this.
- Cook each pancake about 3 minuets per side. When you begin to see the pancake batter bubble that is when it is time to flip your pancakes! Once your pancakes are done, lather them with salted butter, and don't forget the warm maple syrup on the side!
- This recipe makes 6-8 small pancakes. You can double the recipe if you are having more company. Enjoy!
