October brings shorter days and a chill to the air along with the final harvest in our backyard. Out of that final harvest comes an item I look forward to every year with great anticipation: pumpkins! Yes, pumpkins and winter squashes have arrived and Halloween is not far behind.
Every year our family gears up for the one day we get to practice our hand at a fleeting but wonderful art form – Halloween pumpkin carving! This year will be much different……half of us will be missing…..but the fun will go forward!
This morning I started the Pumpkin Season with pumpkin pancakes for breakfast….they were so yummooo! Lucky girl that I am, last year I purchased 3 large cans of pumpkin…because remember there was this big threat…………….NO PUMPKIN in any grocery store. I hear the same threat is with us again this year….so if I find a few stray cans, I’ll be swooping them into my shopping cart…………just in case there are no more PUMPKINS!!!!!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Pancake Mix
3 Tbs. brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1 3/4 cup half and half
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
2 Tbs. vinegar
1 cup pumpkin puree
Mix the dry ingredients together. In a blender mix all the wet ingredients…this helps keep the pancakes light and gives the flavor of pumpkin a burst!
They were fantastic if I do say so myself!
