maple syrup, fresh fruit, pecans, or other fixings for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine butter (2 tablespoons), eggs (2), milk (1 cup), yogurt (1/2 cup), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), honey (2 tablespoons), baking powder (1 tablespoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), pumpkin pie spice (1 teaspoon), and canned pumpkin. Mix well using a whisk.
Add flour (1.5 cups) and stir until just combined (do not overwork, or pancakes will be dense).
Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in it, and spoon 1/4 cup of batter (or 1/2 cup for larger pancakes) into skillet for each pancake. Because the batter is a bit more dense than traditional pancakes, I recommend using a wooden spoon, the back of the measuring cup, or spatula to smooth out the top to create a thinner pancake. This will ensure that it cooks the whole way through without burning the outside.
When edges begin to look cooked, use a large spatula to flip the pancake quickly.
Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and continue cooking in batches until the batter is gone, using 1/2 tablespoon more of butter to fry each batch.
Top with maple syrup and fixings, and enjoy!
Notes
Freezer directions: You can freeze extra pancakes separated with a small piece of parchment paper for up to 6 months in an airtight container or bag. When you want to eat one, just pop in the toaster or microwave for about a minute!
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can use a combination of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and/or ground ginger. Or just cinnamon is fine too :-)
