Pumpkin Pie for breakfast??

Not quite. But it's the next best thing...

Pumpkin Pancakes

{with melt-in-your-mouth, homemade buttermilk syrup}

Pancakes:

2 eggs

1 1/4 C buttermilk (or sour cream)

4 T melted butter

5 T pumpkin

1/4 C sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 C flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp allspice

Mix all ingredients and cook on griddle. My mouth is watering just typing this...

Buttermilk Syrup

1 stick butter

1 C sugar

1/2 C buttermilk

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking soda

Boil butter, sugar and buttermilk. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and baking soda. Stir

until combined. Pour over hot pancakes.

Eat leftover syrup directly from pan with a spoon. And if you eat nothing else for the rest

of the day, you just might stay within your allotted calorie range.
