PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH BLACK CINNAMON SYRUP

Pumpkin Pancakes with Black Cinnamon Syrup

These were fun to make.  I took a little bowl of the batter before adding pumpkin (sweet potato/yam works too) and food coloring for the green stem.  Loved the black syrup.  Next time I definitely want to put in a squirt bottle for kids to decorate (see tip). (favorite pumpkin waffle recipe is in 2009 taste of home)

Ingredients

Syrup

1/2
cup granulated sugar
1/2
cup packed light brown sugar
2
tablespoons Gold Medal® unbleached all-purpose flour
2
teaspoons ground cinnamon
1
teaspoon vanilla
1
cup water
Black food color

Pancakes

2
cups Original Bisquick® mix
1
cup milk
2
eggs
1/2
cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2
tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2
teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Red and yellow (or orange) food color

Directions

  • 1In 1-quart saucepan, heat Syrup ingredients to boiling, stirring constantly, slowly adding enough black food color to completely color the mixture black. Stir constantly while boiling a few more minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • 2In large bowl, stir together Pancake ingredients until well combined. Spoon batter onto hot greased griddle; cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes each side.
  • 3Transfer to serving plates; top with syrup, and serve warm.

    Expert Tips


    Pour syrup into a squeeze bottle so kids can “draw” spooky designs on their pancakes!
    Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter for pumpkin-chocolate chip pancakes.
