Pumpkin Pancakes

We all love fall and going out for pumpkin pancakes. Since we didn't have enough time this morning before general conference, I looked up some recipes and chose this one. It is delicious, a keeper and hopefully an October conference tradition!

Pumpkin pancakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot. (Spread scoop of batter out into bigger pancake so not so thick. Don't add extra milk or it will dilute pumpkin flavor.)
