Pumpkin Pancakes

I just love pumpkin pancakes. They're so perfect for fall. I brought leftover pancakes into the office for breakfast the other day and someone tried to steal them!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1 tsp. ginger
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 4 eggs separated
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• nut butter (optional)
• maple syrup

Directions:

Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, salt and brown sugar.

Combine the pumpkin, milk and egg yolks. Add the flour mixture and melted butter. Stir to blend.

Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks and fold into the batter to blend. Preheat griddle at 350 degrees F. Pour batter and cook until richly browned - about 5 minutes. Serve with Nut Butter and Syrup.

Nut Butter: Blend 1/2 cup soft butter with 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. and 1/2 tsp. grated orange peel.
