Pumpkin Pancakes

These American-style pancakes make a great breakfast for Halloween, or perhaps a snack before trick or treating.

Ingredients: 

2 cups all-purpose flour (plain flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or substitute cinnamon or nutmeg)
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons melted butter plus 1 tablespoon for frying
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
Butter to decorate and serve
Strawberry syrup to serve

Instructions:

Blend the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and spice together in a large bowl.

In another large bowl or jug, beat the eggs and milk. Add 3 tablespoons of the melted butter and the canned pumpkin, beating well. .

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring lightly - just until the dry ingredients are moistened. It doesn't matter that the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Heat a pancake griddle or large frying pan, testing the temperature by sprinkling it with a few drops of water. If they bubble, your temperature is just right. When ready, drop in a tablespoon of butter, then pour in 1/2 cup of batter. Cook the pancake until bubbles appear on top. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown.

To serve place 2-3 pancakes on top of each other. Cut three 3 slices of butter into triangular shapes and use to decorate the top pancake: use 2 triangles at the top of the pancake for the eyes, and 1 in the middle for the nose. Make the pumpkin mouth with strawberry syrup.
