Description
Delightful and fluffy pumpkin pancakes inspired by the Gilmore Girls, perfect for a cozy breakfast.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp browned butter
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 8 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Begin by browning the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until nutty and golden brown. Remove from heat to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cooled browned butter.
- In a separate large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing with unsalted butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Mix together 8 tbsp of brown sugar and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, sprinkling on pancakes as they come off the skillet.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter for fluffiness. Letting the batter rest can yield fluffier pancakes.
