🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons neutral oil or additional butter for greasing the griddle

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

2. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and thoroughly mixed.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4. Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.

5. Once the griddle is hot, use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle. Cook each griddle cake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

6. Carefully flip each griddle cake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as necessary between batches.

8. Serve the pumpkin griddle cakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
