How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes

For a change in breakfast pace, why not whip up a batch of pumpkin pancakes? The inclusion of pumpkin in the breakfast or brunch item adds extra beta-carotene and antioxidants to the meal.http://urbanext.illinois.edu/pumpkins/nutrition.cfm

Making pumpkin pancakes is easy--it is just like making regular pancakes, with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices added to the batter. However, these pancakes can be served in a variety of ways with different accompanying items. Serve them for midday parties or treat your family to a special Sunday brunch. Nestle's Very Best Baking recommends serving them with a pumpkin maple syrup while Chef Nigella Lawson suggests adding sticky maple pecans to the dish.http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/28643/Pumpkin-Pancakes/detail.aspx http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34261164/ns/today-foodwine/ Pumpkin pancakes can also be topped with whipped cream flavored with additional spices.http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/pumpkin-pancakes-with-nutmeg-whipped-cream/Detail.aspx For an extra pumpkin flavor boost, serve with pumpkin pie syrup or pumpkin butter.
