Pumpkin Pancake with Raisin

Last Monday we woke up late...we fell asleep about 1.30am after long day Sunday.

There were 2 friends from my home town slept over at our house.

I ran out of bread for breakfast.... "how about having American breakfast at local restaurant?"

My husband agreed with me..

We went to Harvey's, Dover NH. Delicious..homey breakfast.

One of menus that my friend ordered was pumpkin pancake...

Pumpkin always reminds me of the warm color of fall season.

I love bright orange color of it...the color tone matches with the orange of maple leaves..

My mind keep thinking about pumpkin pancake....yummy. And I still have one can of pumpkin puree. I can't help to try making it at home.

After browsing some recipes, I decided to use recipe from All Recipes. Click HERE for the original recipe.

Directions

1. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.

Note : while I'm editing this blog....I just realized I used 2 cups of pumpkin puree...no wonder my pancake was dense... :-(
