Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend.

2. Whisk milk, pumpkin, egg yolks, melted butter and vanilla in medium bowl to blend well. Add pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just until smooth (batter will be thick).

3. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter in 2 additions.

4. Brush large nonstick skillet with oil; heat over medium heat. Working in batches, pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls into skillet. Cook until bubbles form on surface of pancakes and bottoms are brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with oil between batches

Notes: Excellent! A bit more labor-intensive due to whipping the egg whites, but delicious.
