HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN
Halloween Breakfast ideas with kids!
Spooky Pumpkin Pancakes with Black Cinnamon Syrup
2 eggs
1-1/4 cups buttermilk (*I used powdered)
4 TBSP melted butter
4 TBSP canned pumpkin
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with no stick spray.
- Combine eggs, buttermilk, butter, pumpkin, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.- Use an electric mixer to blend ingredients.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and blend with mixer until smooth.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto hot skillet, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- When the batter stops bubbling and edges begin to harden, flip the pancakes. They should be golden brown. This will take from 1 to 2 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook other side for the same amount of time, until golden brown.
Serve warm with syrup or get creative with the Black Cinnamon Syrup, recipe below.
Black Cinnamon Syrup
(recipe from the clever Not Martha)
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup water
- black food coloring gel
In a saucepan combine sugars, flour and cinnamon. Add vanilla and water. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. As it heats squirt in a little of the black food coloring and mix in, add more until it's as dark as can be (it doesn't take much). Allow to boil for a few moments until the mixture has noticeably thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to put into a plastic squeeze bottle. Syrup can be made ahead and refrigerated. Warm syrup before serving by placing the squeeze bottle in a bowl of warm water(not boiling). Let each person decorate their own pancake!
