Pumpkin Pancakes
Happy Halloween!!! Giant pumpkins can be grown for competitions, with some weighing over 1000 pounds! In 2010, the world record was 1810 pounds! That’s huge according to sciencekids.com! As a food, pumpkin can be baked, roasted, steamed or boiled or made into pancakes! You can make scratch pancakes for this recipe..but starting with a store bought mix helps save time. This is kinda like Pumpkin Pie in a Pancake.

Ingredients

15 servings
  • 2 cups Bisquick mix
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 tablespoon pumpkin puree or fresh pumpkin
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cream eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, baking powder, salt, and all the spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove).
  3. Mix the creamed and dry ingredients together, then add the milk and pumpkin puree. Stir until just blended. Do not over beat; let the batter sit for 10 minutes before cooking.
  4. Oil or butter your griddle, heating the griddle to 300 degrees.
  5. Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook until the edges are dry and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes; turn and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 2 minutes.

Tips and Techniques

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking - this allows the Bisquick to absorb the liquid and makes for fluffier pancakes. Don’t flip until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges looking dry.
