Harvest Breakfast

I serendipitously came across a recipe last night before falling asleep: Pumpkin Pancakes. If you've ever met me, you know my weakness for all things gourd and all things autumn. Therefore, of course we made them this morning. The recipe goes something like this:
2c self raising flour
2tsp cinnamon
2tsp nutmeg
1/2c brown sugar
1/2c pumpkin puree
2 eggs (or egg substitute of choice; applesauce would go well here)
1c water

Combine the dry ingredients, then make a "well" in the middle for the pumpkin and egg. Blend. Then add the water until you reach the desired consistency.
Yield: about 11 pancakes.


The yield was not mentioned, but on a whim I halved the recipe and it came out with 6 (well, 5 and a baby). Also, though I am mostly vegan I did decide to use a single organic, farm fresh, free-run egg. Next time I'll use applesauce, I promise.


I did, however, CREATE applesauce while the pancakes were... panning?


We heaped applesauce on top of the happy cakes...


Jim drizzled his with some organic maple syrup. I left mine mostly naked with a pile of pomme.


Jim and I both felt this was a huge success.


Definitely a repeat. Jim is thinking of a Sunday brunch with a few people next weekend with this on the menu. I am thinking of doing it tomorrow morning... and
all other mornings until I run out of puree.
