Halloween Breakfast: My Favorite Pumpkin Pancake Recipe with Whipped Cream Ghosts
Ingredients
- 1½ cups milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot
For the whipped cream:
Beat one pint of heavy whipping cream with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar until very stiff. Once cream is very stiff, place in a quart or gallon sized Ziploc bag and twist at the top like a piping bag. Snip one corner of the bag off with a pair of scissors and pipe ghosts on top of your pancakes. Place two mini chocolate chips on each ghost for eyes. Tip: Do not pipe ghosts on pancakes straight off of the grill. Let them cool off for a few minutes so the cream does not immediately melt.
