Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/3 tablespoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

Wet Ingredients

1 cup Milk
1 Egg
2 tablespoons Canned Pumpkin Purée
2 tablespoons Butter (plus extra for cooking)

Toppings

Powdered Confectioners Sugar, to taste
Ground Cinnamon, to taste

Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly mixed.
Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg, canned pumpkin purée, melted butter, and milk. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms without overmixing.
Preheat Pan and Cook Pancakes: Heat a small amount of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and continue cooking the other side for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and Garnish: Transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered confectioners sugar and ground cinnamon to taste before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk with buttermilk or add a splash of vanilla extract.
Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easier flipping.
Adjust pumpkin pie spice amount according to your spice preference.
Pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) while cooking the rest.
These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or microwave.
