      One word…Yum!
      My sister works for Williams Sonoma as a second job (I think just for the discounts 🙂 ), and she made some of their pumpkin spice waffle mix for us. It was awesome, so I am looking forward to trying these.

      Thanks for remembering!! I will be trying these very soon…

      I’m sure you already know this, but I saw somewhere about using an old mustard or ketchup bottle (washed out, of course) for pancakes. You can draw pictures, letters, numbers, etc. with the ketchup bottle that is filled with pancake batter. Haven’t tried it yet, but that’s on my list to do, also!

      I am bookmarking this!

      My cousin makes pumpkin waffles, probably with a similar recipe, and she does something special in place of syrup or butter… it’s naughty but it’s sooooo good! She mixes cinnamon in a tub of Cool-whip for dipping! It’d be good on top of pancakes, too. Mmmm…

      Made them this weekend and the leftovers are in the freezer for a quick weekend or off to school breakfast. Made apple cider syrup for them and was it ever delicious.

      The BEST pumpkin pancakes we have ever tasted. I added wild organic blueberries to half the batter and they were exceptional. Thanks for posting…this recipe is a keeper!

      These pumpkin pancakes are also great with chopped pecans or walnuts in them…..particularly great for my toddler who seems to avoid any form of meat right now, as nuts are a good source of protein. We had them for breakfast this morning….Yummy!

      Was looking for a pancake recipe and I loved the pancake molds so much that I tracked them down on amazon immediately. Amco Pancake Molds

      These were a bit thick for my family’s taste, it made them hard to cook through without burning. I think I’ll add a bit more oil and milk next time.

        Mary – I have found that you have to really whisk the batter well to get some “air” into the batter to keep them fluffier. The pumpkin does make the batter more dense, hence the thickness you experienced. Try whisking more vigorously, for longer…get some good bubbles into the batter. And you might want to whisk each time, just before you pour onto the griddle/skillet.
