Ingredients:

1. 2 cups all purpose flour
2. 1 cup pumpkin puree
3. 11/2 cup milk
4. 1 egg
5. 2 tablespoons oil
6. 2 tablespoons sugar
7. 2 teaspoons baking powder
8. 1 teaspoon each of baking soda, all spices, ground cinnamon
9. 1/4 teaspoon salt
10. Butter for frying pancakes

Beat together the egg and the milk and add the pumpkin puree to it and beat again. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Do not over mix.

Heat a griddle and add some butter to it. Add a ladle full of pancake batter and cover and cook until bubbles appear all over the pancake. Flip carefully. Make a slice in the middle for the steam to escape and cook for 5 more minutes. Enjoy as is, or with maple syrup
