Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Spice Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start your pancake adventure by whisking together the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until everything is beautifully blended. Then, gently stir in the melted butter, allowing the rich flavors to mingle.

2. Step 2

   In another bowl, combine the cake flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This is where the magic happens! Gradually add this dry mixture to your buttermilk mixture, whisking until just combined. Don't overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s whip those egg whites! In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. When you lift your beater, the egg whites should hold soft mounds, not sharp peaks. Carefully fold these fluffy whites into your pancake batter, creating a light and airy texture.

4. Step 4

   Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop large spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip those pancakes and cook until they are golden brown on the other side, another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, savoring the delicious aroma filling your kitchen.
