Pumpkin Pancakes

Something easy to whip up for Christmas morning. It satisfies the sweet tooth and provides enough nurtients to satisfy the parental side of our natures. It's a nice change from the usual pancakes and a surprise. Hey, I won't tell if you even put a can of whipped cream out on the table that morning!

Pumpkin Pancakes
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg

Whisk together the dry ingredients and then blend in the rest, mixing thoroughly. If the batter is too thin, add a bit more flour. Pour quarter cups of batter onto a hot, buttered griddle or frying pan. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, time to turn it over.

Have the butter ready along with your favorite syrup and enjoy.
