Pumpkin Spice Pancakes!

After reading DOZENS of recipes -- all made from scratch, I think I have been successful in finding just one recipe where the amount of spices and pumpkin complimented the Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete mix that I use.  When you’re cooking for a 6-8-10, and making lots of other things, there is no time for making some things from scratch, I'm sorry to say.  Does that really bother me?  Nope!  My previous two test batches were mushy and gummy, and these were light and fluffy.  And they are easy enough so I’ll be able to whip up a plain batch just in case someone isn’t crazy about pumpkin.  I can’t wait to make them on Saturday.  If you try them, let me know how you like them.     

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
2 cups Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete pancake mix
1-1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons Libby's Pumpkin Puree (no more or pancakes could get mushy)
¼ tsp All Spice
¼ tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Sugar
¼ c. chopped pecans (optional)

In a small bowl, mix the pumpkin, sugar and spices together. In a larger bowl, add the pancake mix, water and pumpkin mixture and mix well until the large lumps disappear (use a wire whisk if you have one).  Stir in the pecans if you’re using them.  I usually transfer the mixture to a plastic tea pitcher -- it makes it easier to pour.  Let stand 1-2 minutes to thicken.  Heat the griddle to 350 degrees.  After the griddle is hot, lightly grease to prevent sticking (I use spray Pam.)  Pour the mix on the griddle making 3-5 pancakes.  After the pancake starts to bubble and the bottom is a golden brown, flip it over.  Takes just a minute after you flip it, then it's done.  

Enjoy!
