Put some holiday festivity in breakfast with a sweet 'n' spicy stack of pancakes.

Ingredients

• 2-2/3 cup flour
• Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger & cloves to taste
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 eggs (separated)
• 2-1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1-1/2 cups pumpkin (one 15 ounce can)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 stick of melted butter, slightly cooled

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

With a hand mixer, whip egg whites until stiff but not dry.

Mix together buttermilk, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients and fold in buttermilk-pumpkin mixture; do not over mix. Gently fold egg whites into batter.

Cook on a hot grill until bubbles form at the edges. Flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
