I saw these pancakes in a 2008 issue of my favorite magazine, Life Beautiful.
And I have made them twice in the last three days.
They are delicious!
These pancakes are easy and quick, but so rich and decadent. Especially with an extra sprinkling of cinnamon over the top... I felt like I was eating at a fancy restaurant!
Well, except for the baby screaming and the basket of folded clothes at the end of the dining room table.
Just sayin.
Can I set a mood or what? Lets try again.
I can just see these sweet and satisfying pancakes on a cold, snowy Christmas morning with a cup of this fabulous Pumpkin Spice White Chocolate Cocoa.
Sound better?
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp all spice (or pumpkin spice)
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
In large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and all spice. In a seperate bowl, mix together egg, milk, and pumpkin. Add the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and blend until just incorporated. (lumps are ok)
Cook pancakes as you normally would.
Note: This is a dense batter, and you might not see bubbles form as quickly as they normally would. Look for the top to no longer be shiney and for bubbles around the edges as a sign to turn over.
Extra options: Top with toasted pecans, maple sugar glaze, or a powder sugar/cinnamon blend.
Seriously. Try them.
Its like having dessert for breakfast!

Yummy!!! You're speaking my language. And you set the scene perfectly. In my house they stand by me and ask if they're ready and shove in to be "first"...

Okay your picture looks like it needs to be *in* a magazine! Tempting my friend! And this looks so good. I usually pour some pumpkin puree into a {gasp} boxed mix. I bet yours is oodles better.

YUM! I made The Smitten Kitchen's apple crunch for breakfast this morning. We've been cold cereal-less for almost two months now! I'm so excited to have that gone. :)
These look like a WONDERFUL addition (ha! I just started to type addiction)to our morning line up! YUMMY!

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'm having some serious pancake envy at the moment. I'm going to go dig in my pantry.

Oh, my, I'm definitely going to have to try these! I go a little pumpkin nuts this time of year, but I have never made pumpkin pancakes before! (My husband LOVES pumpkin, so I have a feeling these will go over pretty well around here!)

Hello - I just made these for breakfast and although they are delicious... is that a typo for the baking powder? My batter came out like muffins and two tablespoons seems like a lot?!
