Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  3. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  5. 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  6. 1 cup milk
  7. 1 large egg
  8. 2 tablespoons sugar
  9. Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, blend the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and sugar until smooth and fully integrated.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold and mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Some small lumps are acceptable.
  4. For the cinnamon swirl, prepare a separate small mixture of 2 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter.
  6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto the heated surface. Immediately after pouring, use a small spoon to drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture in a circular pattern on top of the pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look slightly dry, approximately 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
  9. Serve warm with maple syrup, additional butter, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.

Tips

  1. • For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter—a few small lumps are your secret weapon to tender pancakes. • Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for more precise and decorative cinnamon swirl patterns. • Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature: medium heat ensures golden-brown pancakes without burning. • Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in a more tender texture. • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the entire batch. • For extra richness, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. • Don't press down on pancakes while cooking—this deflates their beautiful, fluffy texture.
