Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes

[sid]

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, who apparently stole it from Sandra Lee, of semi-homemade fame (or infamy, depending on your POV.) At any rate, these pancakes are simple and delicious. The recipe says it serves 2, but we always have a few leftover.  Good for breakfast, holiday brunches, or supper.  (click on the above recipe link to find out about the pecan (yuck!) syrup which goes with.)

Ingredients:

1 cup buttermilk pancake mix (of the 'just add water' variety)
1 cup cold water
1/3 cup canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
Butter, room teperature

In a medium bowl, whisk pancake mix, water, pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger until just blended.  Do not over-mix; mixture should be lumpy.

Spray a heavy griddle with nonstick spray and heat griddle over medium heat.  Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto griddle to form each pancake.  Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles appear, then turn pancakes over and cook for 2 minutes longer.  Transfer pancakes to plates.  Top with butter and serve with warm pecan (yuck!) syrup.

*g* Pecan pie is the only dessert that will always catch my father's attention on a restaurant menu, so I obviously didn't come by my dislike naturally!

I hope you'll enjoy.
