Pumpkin Pancakes

So today we got to have a fun little breakfast for Haley and her soon to arrive little girl. Of course as always we had tons of wonderful food, so ladies please post your recipes...I loved it all. Here is the recipe for the Pumpkin Pancakes. Don't forget the syrup (its the best part).:>

Pumpkin Pancakes

Mix the following in a bowl:

1 cup milk
6 Tablespoons canned pumpkin
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1 egg

Add the following and blend:

1 1/4 cups flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of ground cloves

Cook pancakes about 3 minutes per side. Makes 8 to 10 pancakes.

Buttermilk Syrup

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda

Combine butter, buttermilk, and sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and soda. It will fizz to 3 times the size so I usually do this in the sink.

ENJOY!!! And please post some recipes soon.

Here goes something....

So I have been wanting to start this for a while now...but just have not had the time. Not that I really have the time now, but hey I can either do this or clean bathrooms so this just seemed like a lot more fun. :> Anyway, I am hoping that this will be more of a sharing blog, where we can all share fun, yummy recipes. I love to cook but...if your family is anything like mine, we kind of get stuck in a cooking rut where we make the same 10 to 15 things and then we get sick of them and forget about them until years later. Or we just need something new, a change in our menu. I am hoping that this will help us all. So please add any recipes that you and your family love, rather they are easy, moderate or hard...we all gotta start somewhere. If you have posts but don't know how to add them or don't want to type the recipes in, please e-mail them to me at jenhester@broadweave.net and I will do my best to get them added. Hope to see some good postings up here soon ladies!!!
