Pumpkin pancakes

What better to make the day after Halloween than pumpkin pancakes? This is our Sunday ritual. I can't tell you how many batches of pancakes I've made. Probably hundreds and we frequently try to do something different. This summer we did experiments with berries (strawberry, blueberry, frozen and fresh), peanut butter, buttermilk, nuts and

Yummy! We used to use Bisquick but I found out it has hydrogenated oil in it, so I looked around and discovered Hodgeson Mills. I've been making blueberry ones for a while but you've inspired me to try some others.

Pancakes are the easiest thing to make. I have no idea why people buy mixes.

My starting recipe was from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

For lighter, fluffier pancakes, add 1t of baking soda but I like them more cake-like.

Ever tried to make these?

They really are more than the sum of their parts. Adding some vanilla is a good idea, and I'm sure most any spice would work well too. I cook them with a generous amount of butter on a cast iron skillet, making sure they get nice and crispy on the egde. They are more like a crepe than a pancake, but they are still delicious.

That sounds like something HCD would really like. Thank you!

I need to try these. They're like banana scrambled eggs! I'll have to sequester some bananas away so they can actually ripen. They don't live long in our house.
