Pumpkin Pancakes....Yumm

Straw Beary

I love to bake with pumpkin....but, pumpkin pancakes are really a special treat!  Now, I've got A from scratch recipe, but on a busy Sunday morning, a little cheating won't hurt much.  Besides, kids just love these....even the big one's like Blu Bear !

1 cup store bought pancake mix (I like buttermilk)
1/2 teaspoon & a pinch of cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2/3 cup cold water
1/3 cup baked pumpkin (mashed)

Mix well and dollop on a hot buttered skillet.  Turn when bubbles form...or do like I do and peak to see if they are browning ....flip.....eat....repeat!   Now, if  "pumpkin" spice is in your cupboard, you can use that (about a 1/2 teaspoon), but sprinkle cinnamon & sugar on the pancakes before turning.  This way you don't need ginger...but I always keep it on hand, cause I mix my own pumpkin spices.
