Pumpkin Pancakes
HALLOWEEN MEMORY
This recipe was created by my daughters and me by accident. I had made pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving from the Halloween pumpkin pulp, after we used them as jack-o-lanterns. Problem was I forgot to add any sugar to the mix for the pumpkin pie filling.
When I served the pie to everyone, there was silence in the room. I thought they were just enjoying my pie. When I finally got to sit down and eat a bite of my slice; I realized why everyone was staring at me! It tasted terrible.
I had made three pumpkin pies and one apple pie. The apple was for my British son-in-law who does not like pumpkin. The rest of us ate Luke’s apple pie. I was so embarrassed! My daughters said “Mom, don’t throw the pumpkin pies away, we’ll figure out something.”
The next morning I slept late, while my daughters fixed breakfast. They made a pancake batter, then added the filling from the pumpkin pies and some sugar. They make so many pancakes that I thought we would never eat all of them! However, the pumpkin pancakes tasted so good there were none left!
So my recipe is to bake pumpkin pies, with no sugar, scoop out the filling then add it and some sugar to your favorite pancake mix. Just teasing-but it is almost that simple.
INSTRUCTIONS
Make a double batch of your favorite pancake mix according to package directions. (I use Aunt Jemima’s whole wheat pancake and waffle mix.)
Mix in 1 can pumpkin.
Add 1/2 -1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix well and cook per package directions.
HINT: If you want pancakes to be spooky-add chocolate chips to top of batter for each pancake in patterns such as jack-o-lantern faces, bats and more!
