Pumpkin pancake
It’s hard to say when exactly pumpkin pancakes came into existence. Recipes for pancakes made with squash and pumpkin puree are found in 19th-century American cookbooks, but the dish may have been around long before that. Native Americans were known to have made pancakes with squash, sweet potatoes, and cornmeal, and it’s likely that early settlers adapted these recipes to include the pumpkins they were growing.
Pumpkin pancakes became a fall tradition in New England, where they were served with maple syrup. The pancakes were also popular in the Midwest, where they were often served with sausage. In recent years, pumpkin pancakes have become a year-round breakfast staple, with recipes appearing in magazines and newspapers across the country.
There are endless variations on the pumpkin pancake, but the basic recipe is simple: just add pumpkin puree to your favorite pancake batter. For a more festive pancake, try adding some spices to the batter, like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. You can also dress up your pancakes with toppings like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips. However you make them, pumpkin pancakes are sure to please.
