  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree Canned
  • 1 cup Milk Any kind
  • 1 Large egg
  • 0.25 cup Melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar Optional
Cinnamon Butter
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter Softened
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter, and sugar (if using).
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While pancakes cook, prepare the cinnamon butter: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the cinnamon until well combined.
  7. Serve pancakes immediately, topped generously with cinnamon butter.

Notes

For extra flavor, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pancake batter. You can also use maple syrup in addition to or instead of the cinnamon butter. Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
