HEALTHY PUMPKIN SPICE PANCAKES
Every year around September I get a HUGE craving for anything and everything pumpkin--especially this year since I'm expecting a little one this winter! This is what I came up with when craving pancakes but wanting something healthy, too. It is a take-off from the Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes in "Recipes from the Old Mill". Enjoy!

Steps:
- Beat eggs well until somewhat frothy.
- Add other ingredients except pumpkin and mix.
- Add pumpkin and mix again.
- Fry batter in scant 1/4 cupfuls on a nonstick griddle or pan.
- Try not to stack pancakes if possible; this helps retain the fluffiness :). I often store them on a cookie sheet in a 250°F oven until time to serve, which helps keep them warm.

FIVE-SPICE CHINESE PANCAKES
The addition of five spice powder to the batter is what makes these Chinese pancakes special. I use these with my recipe #399013 *Note: The dough needs to chill for an hour prior to making the pancakes. The pancakes do not keep well left-over, but are delicious freshly made!

Steps:
- Place flour, five spice powder, and chives (optional) in a medium bowl.
- Combine milk, margarine, and egg in a separate bowl.
- Add milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a whisk until blended.
- Cover and chill for an hour.
- Place an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot.
- Remove pan from heat and pour scant 1/4 cup of batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers the bottom of pan.
- Place pan back on burner and cook about 1 minute.
- Carefully lift edge of pancake with a spatula to test for doneness. The pancake will be ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned.
- Turn pancake over, cook other side for about 30 seconds.
- Place the pancake on a plate and cool. Repeat until all of the batter is used. Stack pancakes between single layers of wax paper to prevent pancakes from sticking.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
- Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, salt and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar in a large bowl until well combined. Drizzle in 6 tablespoons of the butter and stir to combine.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and 4 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice in a second large bowl until well combined. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture with a silicone spatula until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Reserve 2 tablespoons of the batter in small bowl and set aside.
- Brush a 13 1/2-by-18 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Pour in the batter, using the spatula to smooth out the top. Tap the tray on the counter a few times to settle the batter.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the caramel, stir until well coated and set aside.
- Add the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin pie spice to the reserved batter and stir to combine. Set aside.
- In separate small bowl, mix together the carrots, raisins, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, stir together the cranberries, orange zest and juice and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Set aside.
- Arrange the baking sheet with a long side facing you. Visualize the pan divided into 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant will hold a different pancake topping. Arrange the apples over the surface of the upper left quadrant. Next to it on the right, dollop the brown sugar-pumpkin pie mixture, about 1 teaspoon at a time. (You want to see a lot of brown dots sitting on top of the batter.) Using a toothpick or small skewer, swirl the mixture into the batter, making a marbled pattern.
- Sprinkle the carrot mixture over the lower left quadrant under the apples. Use a butter knife or offset spatula to gently mix the carrots into the batter. Sprinkle the cranberry mixture in the lower right quadrant, discarding any extra liquid.
- Put the sheet pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center of the pancake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Spread the cream cheese over the carrot section using a butter knife or offset spatula. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the confectioners' sugar, followed by the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
- Stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and drizzle over the swirled pumpkin spice section.
- Serve the pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use buttermilk: Buttermilk is a common ingredient in pancake recipes because it adds a tangy flavor and helps to make the pancakes light and fluffy. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough pancakes. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also help to make the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle is essential for cooking pancakes evenly. Heat the griddle over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the pancakes in batches: To ensure that the pancakes are cooked evenly, cook them in batches. Don't overcrowd the griddle or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
- Flip the pancakes once: Only flip the pancakes once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
Conclusion:
These tips will help you make perfect pancakes every time. With a little practice, you'll be able to whip up a batch of pancakes in no time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy breakfast, give one of these recipes a try.
