Pumpkin Pancakes With Pumpkin Maple Sauce Recipes

ORANGE PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM, CINNAMON MAPLE SYRUP AND THICK-CUT BACON

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Combine the pumpkin, milk, egg yolks, orange juice and zest in another bowl, mixing until homogenous. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix until combined.
• Preheat the griddle.
• Beat the egg whites with a pinch salt in a separate bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, until the whites form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter in thirds. Do this quickly and gently, so the pancakes will be light and fluffy.
• Melt small pats of butter onto the griddle, and then spread them around with a paper towel to remove any excess. Spoon or ladle the batter onto the griddle to the desired size of the pancake. When the top of the pancakes are full of holes (look like bubbles have risen to the surface and burst), flip and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
• Transfer the pancakes to serving plates, dust with powdered sugar and serve with Cinnamon Maple Syrup, Vanilla Whipped Cream and Thick-Cut Bacon on the side.
• Heat the maple syrup with the cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the syrup is hot, remove from the heat and allow the flavors to steep, about 30 minutes. Yield: 1 cup.
• Beat the cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl, using a whisk or hand beater, until the cream starts to thicken. Sprinkle in the sugar and beat until the cream is very light and fluffy and holds soft peaks. Yield: 3 cups.
• Place the bacon in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Cook until the fat starts to render out and the bacon turns golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH MAPLE SYRUP AND NUTMEG WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, cloves, ginger and allspice together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs and pumpkin puree together in another bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until ingredients are just incorporated and batter is thick (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream and nutmeg until stiff peaks form. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ladle a heaping 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a 6-inch round. Cook, until pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through, about 1 minute 30 seconds more. The first few pancakes may seem sticky and hard to flip, but the pancakes will become easier to flip as you cook more of them.
• Transfer the pancake to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking it between the two kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes.
• Place 3 pancakes on each plate and garnish with nutmeg whipped cream and pumpkin seeds. Serve with maple syrup.

PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH STICKY MAPLE PECANS

Steps:

• Place pecans in a large dry skillet over medium heat. Stir until warm and fragrant. Spoon syrup on top, and stir until coated. Transfer to a plate.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and flour. Stir to blend.
• In another large bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Add pumpkin purée. Add flour mixture, and whisk until smooth.
• Heat a heavy skillet or griddle, and coat surface with oil. Pour in scant 1/4-cup measures of batter to make 3-inch diameter disks.
• When pancakes are lightly browned (after about 2 minutes), flip them over, and cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a platter and cover with foil.
• Place pancakes on warm plates, garnish with pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup.

ALMOST MARTHA'S PUMPKIN PANCAKES (MILK-FREE)

Steps:

• Into a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, pumpkin, oil, and egg until homogenous.
• Stir in the milk alternative, followed by the flour mixture. Stir until just combined; no need to overmix, a few lumps are okay.
• Set that aside and heat a wee bit of oil in a skillet over medium or medium-low heat (depending on how finicky your stove is).
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook for roughly 3 minutes per side, give or take. The tops of the pancake will have bubbles breaking at the surface when it is time for that first flip.
• Serve topped with leftover cranberry sauce (as I did), pumpkin butter, or the traditional maple syrup.
• This batter also works well for waffles.
