November is pumpkinmonth so it seemed appropriate to have pumpkin pancakes for breakfast thismorning. I used our homemade mix, added a little pumpkin and spice and a fewchopped pecans. We served them with butter and maple syrup and they were delicious!Hmmm – there’s stillpumpkin left so guess we’ll have pumpkin pancakes at least one more time.
Pumpkin-PecanPancakes     Makes about 7 pancakes1cup homemade baking mix, or use a commercial pancake mix¾cup cold water1/3cup canned pumpkin ­— plain without added sugar or spices (extra pumpkin can befrozen for later use if you are not going to use it right away½teaspoon ground cinnamon¼teaspoon ground ginger¼ teaspoonground nutmeg1tablespoon brown sugar1/3cup chopped pecansNonstickvegetable cooking sprayButter& maple syrup
1.    In a medium bowl, whisk pancake mix, water, pumpkin, spices, brown sugarand chopped pecans until just blended (do not over mix; mixture should belumpy).

This is a relatively thick pancake batter.

2.    Spray a heavy griddle with nonstick spray and heat griddle over mediumheat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto hot griddle to form each pancake.
3.    Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles appear, then turn pancakesover and cook for about 2 minutes longer.

Bubbles have formed and the pancakes are ready to turn.

They need to cook for a few more minutes after they've been flipped.

4.    Serve with butter and maple syrup. (Bacon and eggs are good with them, too.)
