Hi there, Marci here. Stuart has graciously allowed me to invade his blog and do a guest post. This summer Stephanie and I had the pleasure of staying at The Mission House Bed & Breakfast in Iowa City, Iowa. Owners Shirley and Ray Hendrickson made us feel right at home, and Shirley prepared the best pancakes we have ever eaten, so we just have to share them with you. Let's get started:
Ingredients
1 cup pancake/waffle mix
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 tsp. each ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg)
2 tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
3/4 cup milk (we use soy, but regular is fine)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix, just pumpkin)
Beat the eggs for a minute or two, then add the pumpkin, oil, and milk. Mix the dry ingredients together, then add them into the pumpkin-egg mixture just until smooth.
You can make the batter the night before and refrigerate it. For pancakes, you may need to thin it a little bit - just play around and see what you like best. These are really good on a crisp fall morning, with some bacon (mmm, bacon......), maple syrup, and fresh fruit on the side. And if you ever find yourself in Iowa City, stay at The Mission House - you won't regret it!
