pumpkin pancakes with butter & maple syrup ( garnished with some green apple & black berry)
Last week I was in NY at my sister inlaws house for Thanks giving. On sunday morning, before every one was ready to get back to their respective places, we had these home made pancakes. These were made by my niece and nephew, the most wonderful kids i have ever seen. I may be their aunt, but we are more like friends. May be because age wise they are just few years younger than me and also our tastes match- especially with cooking and experimenting new recipes.
Pooja my niece, adopted this recipe from a magazine and with the help of her brother Neil added their own twist to it. Nutmeg and cinnamon add a spicy touch to these pancakes. Nutmeg has a strong pungent smell which goes well with most of the desserts. It should be grated right before we use it, if not it losses its flavor and smell.
As this was their recipe, all I had to do was take some nice pictures , sit back and enjoy my pancakes.
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
2-3 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup Libby’s canned pumpkin puree (any brand is ok)
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (if using the yogurt, wisk it with some water)
2 large eggs at room temperature
3 tbsp melted butter
1/4 - 1/2 cups milk (may want to add more or less depending on desired viscosity)
Procedure:
- If using a griddle, preheat the griddle to 350 degrees F. A non-stick pan can also be used instead of griddle.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and pumpkin spice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the pureed pumpkin, buttermilk, eggs and butter. Pour the ingredients of the small bowl into the ingredients of the medium bowl. Stir to form a smooth batter.
- Grease the pan and pour the batter in the form of pan cake and cook each side for about two to three minutes.
While serving-
*Add butter and maple syrup
**Add powdered sugar…will add a nice touch to it!
