A Favorite Fall Recipe

I recently posted on Facebook that I had made pumpkin pancakes and apple cider syrup for breakfast and a few people expressed interest in the recipes. Here they are! They are not difficult and they are so yummy!

Pumpkin Pancakes

2 Cups flour
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon cinnmon
1/4 teaspoon allspice (I don't always have this on hand and eliminate it)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 Cups milk
1/2 Cup canned pumpkin
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Combine dry ingredients with a wire whisk and set aside. In a large bowl, beat milk, pumpkin, egg and oil. Gradually add dry ingredients. Mix only until wet. Batter will be lumpy.

Heat griddle and brush with oil (or spray). Make pancakes using 1/4 cup batter. Cook until top is bubbled and edges are dry. Turn and cook for another minute or so.

Apple Cider Syrup

1/2 Cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Teaspoon cinnamon
1 Cup apple cider
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons butter

In a medium pot mix sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon with a whisk. Add apple cider and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil until thickened (takes just a few minutes). Remove from heat and add butter.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
