Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 2 ¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice click for recipe
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup 100% pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- For topping: maple syrup, whipped cream, chopped pecans
Instructions
- To make homemade buttermilk: whisk together vinegar and milk in a small mixing bowl. Set for 5-10 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
- Sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well mixed. Add buttermilk, egg, pumpkin, brown sugar, melted butter, milk and vanilla to the same bowl.
- Whisk together until mostly smooth, with a few tiny pebbles of flour throughout, being careful not to over-mix. Set batter for 5 minutes.
- Scoop ¼ cup batter (using this scoop) into the center of a nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Smooth batter until 1/3-inch thick. The batter will rise as it cooks.
- Cook until bubbles form throughout the center of the pancake and it’s sturdy enough to flip, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium low. Repeat for remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream and pecans. Enjoy!
