Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I love pumpkin pancakes. I used to go to Ihop and have them. I always wanted to make them, but never found a recipe that I liked. I found Sandra Lee's recipe on Food Network, and I have changed it up just a little bit. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These pancakes are a fantastic fall weekend breakfast. They'd be good if you're doing breakfast for dinner, too. They're light and fluffy. Cinnamon and ginger balance the sweetness from the maple syrup. Using pancake mix eliminates many ingredients so these pumpkin pancakes are super simple.

How To Make pumpkin pancakes

Test Kitchen Tips
If you find the batter too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.
  • Pancake mix, water, pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger combined in a bowl.
    1
    Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well blended. (I mixed until most lumps were gone.)
  • Heating butter in a skillet.
    2
    Melt the butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium to high heat.
  • Frying a pancake in the skillet.
    3
    Once melted, ladle a bit of the mixture in the middle of the pan. (I always test the pan and cooking heat with this one pancake. That pancake always makes it to the trash. After that, I start making salad-size pancakes.)
  • Flipping the pancake in the skillet.
    4
    As the pancake cooks, wait until bubbles form then flip it carefully to the other side. Cook another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on the other side.
  • Inside of the Pumpkin Pancakes.
    5
    This made my family about 10 to 12 pancakes. Serve with butter and your favorite maple syrup. I also added a couple of medium-cooked fry eggs on top.
