Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 175 g Plain flour
- 3 tbsp Light brown soft sugar
- 2 ½ tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Mixed spice
- ¼ tsp Ground ginger
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- 200 g Pumpkin puree
- 1 Egg large
- 200 ml Milk any kind
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 15 g Butter for greasing the pan
For serving
- Whipped cream
- Mape syrup
Instructions
- Put a large frying pan on the hob to heat up, aim for a medium heat
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the plain flour, light brown soft sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, mixed spice, ground ginger and nutmeg
- In another mixing bowl, or a large jug, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, milk and vanilla extract
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture, and whisk together until just combined
- Add some butter to the pan and tip the pan to help the butter spread around as it melts
- Add spoonsfuls of the pancake batter to the pan and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Check the underside is looking golden by using a spatula to gently lift one of the pancakes at the edge
- If they look cooked, flip them over and let the other side cook for 1-2 minutes
- Remove from the pan and repeat this process until all of the batter is used up
- Serve immediately, or allow to cool completely, then store in the fridge or freezer
Notes
- Make sure that your eggs are at room temperature before your start baking.
- You can use any kind of milk for this recipe. I've used both cow's milk and dairy free milks with success.
- I used light brown soft sugar to sweeten the pancakes, but caster sugar will work well too.
- Mixed spice is a British spice blend containing cinnamon, coriander seed, nutmeg, clove, pimento, and ground ginger. If you can't get hold of it where you're based, you can use a Pumpkin Spice mix instead or add more of the other spices.
- I used tinned pumpkin puree for this recipe, you can also make it from scratch. There is full instructions on how to do this further down in this post.
- Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
- For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
