Shrove Tuesday - A great excuse to have pancakes for dinner. I would have preferred the pumpkin pancake recipe that I developed last fall or the Whole Wheat Pancake recipe from my aunt Laura, but Bill was home & prefers the "old standbys" so I went with the "Joy" recipe.









Pumpkin Pancakes

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup pumpkin

Mix all dry ingredients together. (You could leave out the cloves & ginger if you want, I like them, but they do kind of give the pancakes a "kick") In a separate bowl mix together the milk, eggs, butter & pumpkin. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed. Cook on a griddle or in a skillet as any other pancakes.
