Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for ginger butter)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger (for ginger butter)
- 0 maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
Step 5
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 6
To make the ginger butter, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and ground ginger together in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a dollop of ginger butter and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
