SPIDERWEB PUMPKIN PANCAKES

AN EASY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN BREAKFAST TREAT!

growing with martha stewart

The trick behind these fool proof Halloween treats is a squeeze bottle. Snip its tip to make the opening slightly larger; then fill it with batter, making sure there are no lumps. To create a web, form an asterisk with the batter on a hot griddle, and connect the points and arms of the stars in two rows. For the spider, squirt two connected circles, and add eight legs. The bottle can also be used to easily create letters and faces, changing your pancake game and making you a superstar in your kids' eyes-for many weekends to come.

PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Servings: 4 -5

Yield: 8-10 pancakes 

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for skillet and serving
  • 1 egg
  • Pure maple syrup, for serving


Directions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a bowl.
  2. Mix wet ingredients together, fold into dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together milk, pumpkin puree, butter, and egg. Fold mixture into dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, do not overmix. You should see lumps remaining (these will work themselves out).
  3. Cook pancakes: Melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat; pour in 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook pancakes about 3 minutes per side; serve with butter and syrup and enjoy!
