It's Thanksgiving and pumpkin pancakes are a great way to start the day. These pancakes are delicious served with maple syrup but add a dollop of whipped cream and toasted pecans, well then it's really over the top delicious.
I still have pureed pumpkin in my freezer so I'm trying to use it before I buy any more. I have been tempted as I walk past the large bin of pumpkins at the supermarket. In the meantime I have been gifted with pie pumpkins from a dear friend. Thank you Susan.

I made these this morning, but I needed to add quite a bit more buttermilk. We took your suggestion of the whipped cream and pecans (why not, its a holiday). Also added a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream. Yummy! I will make these again!
ReplyDeleteThese were so so good! I halved the ginger and added 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Amazing! And really filling, too.
