Recipe: Pumpkin Pancakes
There’s so much to love about fall in the northeast: crisp temperatures, the changing colors of the leaves, new fashions, and football. Another fall favorite, and certainly one of mine, is PUMPKIN! So when my friend Denise graciously hosted us last weekend for Penn State homecoming, I offered to make breakfast for the gang, and the first thing I thought of was pumpkin pancakes. I had never made them before, but I adapted a simple pancake recipe and experimented with a few other ingredients.
The result? Delicious, if I do say so myself! We topped them with maple syrup, and added a side of crisp bacon (Tip: When making bacon for a crowd, cook on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven. 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. Easy cleanup, and more time to spend with your friends instead of over the stove!).
