Description

Fluffy pumpkin pancakes topped with a homemade cinnamon syrup. Perfect for Halloween!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the syrup:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup water
  • Black food coloring

For the pancakes:

  • 2 cups original Bisquick® mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Red and yellow (or orange) food coloring

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring sugars, flour, cinnamon, vanilla and water to a boil, stirring constantly. Slowly add enough black food coloring to completely dye the mixture black. Stir constantly while boiling for a few more minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together Bisquick mix, milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and food coloring until well combined. Spoon batter in 1/4-cupfuls onto hot greased griddle; cook each side until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes each side.
  3. Transfer to serving plates; top with syrup and serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftover pancakes and syrup in the fridge, separately, for up to 5 days.
  • You can freeze these pancakes, fully cooked and cooled, for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or toast in the toaster on defrost to reheat.
