Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/3 tablespoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Canned Pumpkin Purée
- 2 tablespoons Butter (plus extra for cooking)
Toppings
- Powdered Confectioners Sugar (to taste)
- Ground Cinnamon (to taste)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg, canned pumpkin purée, melted butter, and milk. Stir gently until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Cook pancakes: Pour spoonfuls of batter onto the pan to form individual pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for bubbles to form on the surface as an indicator that it’s ready to flip.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and sprinkle with powdered confectioners sugar and ground cinnamon to taste before serving them warm.

- For extra fluffiness, separate the egg and whip the egg white before folding it into the batter.
