Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

 

 

In the fall there are two things I crave, pumpkin and cinnamon. This recipe combines them both deliciously.  I doctored up my regular pancake recipe, which has been in my family for generations, with pumpkin and spices to make these nice light fluffy pancakes. There's nothing worse than a heavy dense pancake! I highly recommend serving it with our Cinnamon Syrup Recipe!
