🍳 How to Make Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes

1. Preheat Griddle: Preheat a large non-stick griddle or skillet to medium heat. Butter the surface or use cooking spray if desired.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and milk until smooth.
4. Mix Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy—don’t overmix.
5. Rest Batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the baking powder for fluffier pancakes.
6. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/3 cup of batter per pancake onto the preheated griddle. Gently spread into circles. Cook about 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
7. Serve: Serve warm with butter, syrup, whipped cream, or nuts.

💡 Tips for Success

• Do Not Overmix: Overmixing develops gluten, leading to dense pancakes. Mix just until combined.
• Rest the Batter: Resting helps the batter rise better and gives fluffier results.
• Perfect Griddle Temperature: Medium heat is ideal for even cooking and golden color.
• Use a 1/3 Cup Measure: Keeps your pancakes consistent in size.

🆘 Pancake Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: My pancakes are flat and dense.
Likely Cause: Overmixing or expired baking powder.
Solution: Mix lightly and check that baking powder is fresh (add a teaspoon to hot water—bubbles mean it’s active).

Problem: My pancakes are burnt outside but raw inside.
Likely Cause: Griddle too hot.
Solution: Lower heat and cook slowly for even doneness and golden color.

👩‍🍳 Pro Chef Tips

• Fresh Spices: Use fresh spices for the best warm, vibrant flavor.
• Buttermilk Substitute: For extra tang, replace milk with buttermilk. Or make your own by adding 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to 1½ cups milk—let sit 5 minutes.
• Make-Ahead Dry Mix: Combine and store dry ingredients in an airtight jar for quick weekday pancakes.

☕ Perfect Pairings: What to Enjoy with Your Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes
