Pumpkin Pancakes

A fall breakfast treat! This recipe came from a Martha Stewart magazine and I have doubled the ingredients.  These are excellent with some Buttermilk Syrup or I recently used a Milk Syrup that I added molasses to. Yum!

 Pumpkin Pancakes
2 1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
2 c. milk
3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1/4 c. melted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine dry ingredients.  In another bowl, combine milk, pumpkin, melted butter, eggs and vanilla and whisk together.  Cook on a hot griddle greased with a little melted butter.

I thought I would have to coax some of my children into trying these, so I made some of them have smiley faces with cinnamon chips.  If you want to try this, pour your batter onto the griddle, when they are almost ready to turn, add the chips and turn to finish cooking.
