Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

These pancakes are light and airy with a subtle sweetness from the pumpkin. The cornmeal adds a nice texture and a slightly nutty flavor. They make a cozy breakfast that feels special but is easy to prepare.

Chef's Cooking Tips

- Use buttermilk or add a splash of vinegar to regular milk for extra fluffiness.
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure pancakes are golden but cooked through without burning.

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir everything together until just combined—don’t overmix, a few lumps are okay.

Step 2

Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, spoon generous dollops of batter onto the surface. Cook the pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes, until you see bubbles forming on top and the edges look set. Flip them carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until they’re golden and cooked through. Keep going until all the batter is used up, adding more oil if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!

What To Serve With This Dish

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for extra texture. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries pairs nicely and brightens the dish.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a toaster or skillet to keep them fluffy. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer with parchment paper between each pancake.

Turned out tasty but a bit thick for my liking. Next time I’ll thin the batter a bit. Otherwise very enjoyable breakfast.

Nice flavor but they came out a bit dense for my taste. Maybe I overmixed the batter. Will try again soon.
