These are a Sunday morning favorite at our house. Don't forget the pecans and whipped cream when serving!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Light and fluffy, these pumpkin pancakes have just the right hint of spice. So good, these pancakes may transform non-pumpkin lovers. Sometimes pancakes like these can be heavy in texture, but not these thanks to the pastry flour. The key is to not over-mix the ingredients. There's more work to make these than pancakes from a box, but they're the perfect holiday morning breakfast.

How To Make pumpkin pancakes

Test Kitchen Tips
If you can't find pastry flour, mix 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/3 cup of cake flour.
  • Sifted dry ingredients in a bowl.
    1
    Sift together the dry ingredients.
  • Pumpkin puree, whole eggs, and half and half in a bowl.
    2
    In a separate bowl, combine the puree, whole eggs, and half and half.
  • Wet and dry ingredients combined.
    3
    Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  • Stirring in melted butter.
    4
    Stir in the melted butter.
  • Folding in whipped egg whites.
    5
    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1/2 the egg whites to loosen the batter. When the whites are nearly incorporated, fold in the remaining amount.
  • Frying pancake in a skillet.
    6
    Heat the griddle to medium heat. Drizzle in enough canola oil to prevent sticking. Ladle the batter onto the griddle, spreading the circles out with the back of the ladle.
  • Flipping golden brown pancakes.
    7
    When the edges of the pancakes are golden brown, flip to finish cooking. Serve topped with whipped cream and pecans.
