I always look forward to fall because I starting making recipes using pumpkin.  I make pumpkin biscuits, pumpkin ooey gooey butter cake, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cupcakes, and pumpkin pancakes.

I don’t know why I wait until fall to enjoy these tasty treats since I could eat pumpkin pancakes all year long.  Maybe I’ll save a couple of cans of pumpkin and make them for the fourth of July!

If you are craving some pumpkin pancakes, here is an easy recipe using Bisquick.

Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
•  1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 cups Bisquick
• 1/2 cup pumpkin pie filling

  Or you can use

• 1/2  cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
• 1  teaspoon pumpkin spice mix

If you don’t have pumpkin pie filling.

Directions

1. Into medium-large bowl, mix all ingredients until smooth. Batter will be thick.
2. Grease griddle /skillet with cooking spray or butter.  Heat over medium-high heat.
3. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle/skillet.
4. Cook until bubbles form around edges.
5. Turn pancakes; cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown on bottom.

Serve pancakes with your favorite syrup or use your imagination and make your own.

I always get a little creatiave with my syrups.  I either make my own from fruit or start with a purchased syrup.  For my pumpkin pancakes, I started with some purchased syrup (Mrs Butterworth’s) and added brown sugar, vanilla, butter, and pecans to taste.  Heat everything in a small pan until sugar and butter are melted.  Server warm.

Makes about 14 pancakes.

Note:  If the batter seems to thick, just add a little more milk to thin.
