Thanksgiving breakfast

Okay so when we think of Thanksgiving, we think of dinner right? I was searching recipes and I found one for a Thanksgiving breakfast. This pumpkin pancake recipe is perfect for this time of year. Just make sure you like pumpkin flavored stuff. This recipe got very good ratings and only takes about 10 minutes to make!

Pumpkin Pancakes


100% would make this again
Serves about 4

1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons melted butter
maple syrup, heated In a small mixing bowl, stir together flours, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat together pumpkin, egg yolks, milk and butter. Stir in flour mixture. Beat egg whites until they hold firm peaks and fold them into the batter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto a preheated, lightly greased griddle.
Bake until bubbles appear on the surface, then turn and bake the other side until lightly browned. Serve with warm maple syrup

One hundred percent of people who reviewed this recipe said that they would make it again. A comment even said that it was great and the family loved it. Its just like making normal pancakes but with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and pumpkin. This tastes good with a big glass of milk. Just don't get too full on the pumpkin pancakes or else you won't have room for Thanksgiving dinner. Pumpkins can be used for many recipes but most people don't expect them to be in pancakes. Surprising someone, who of course likes pumpkin, with these pancakes would be a pleasant surprise.
