Pumpkin Pancakes

Every Friday, our class cooks delicious treats.  This week, we cooked pumpkin pancakes!  They were absolutely delicious!  There are different recipe variations, but the following is the one we used:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups pancake mix
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups of milk
• 1 cup cooked pumpkin (canned or fresh)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• butter
• maple syrup or honey

Directions:

1. Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.  Let children assist. (Each student had an opportunity to stir the batter three times.)
2. Pour small amounts of the batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. (I used two electric frying pans to cook more pancakes at one time.)
3. When bubbles form on the pancakes and the edges begin to brown, flip the pancakes.
4. Cook a minute or more, until brown.
5. Serve with butter, maple syrup, or a little bit of honey.

NOTE: This recipe makes about forty 4" pumpkin pancakes.  (I have 20 students and we had plenty pancakes leftover.)
