I have two recipes to share with you today. I actually made both of them yesterday and they were quite delicious. The first recipe is from my friend Cami and was a huge hit for breakfast. The second came from a friend of mine, Amelia and is something I have to make every fall.



Pumpkin Pancakes with Buttermilk Syrup


Pancakes:
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
4 T. oil
5 T. pumpkin
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice

Mix eggs, buttermilk, oil, and pumpkin in mixing bowl. Add: sugar, salt, flour, b. powder. soda, cinnamon, and allspice.Beat until smooth. Grease skillet and pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot skillet. Flip.


Buttermilk Syrup:
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk

Bring all ingredients to a boil and remove from heat. Add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. soda. Stir well. Serve over hot pancakes. Yummy!!


Tip: I did not have any buttermilk on hand, so I made my own by mixing 1 cup milk with 1 T. lemon juice. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until it thickens slightly. It worked great!



Pumpkin Scones with Cranberry butter


2 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice add extra cinnamon and nutmeg (if you want)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. soda
1/2 cup cold butter
1 egg
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup milk


Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl and cut in butter until course crumbs form. Wisk egg, pumpkin and milk together and add to crumb mixture until moistened. Knead ten times, or until all is fully incorporated. Turn out on parchment paper or greased cookie sheet. Press into an 8 inch circle. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cut into wedges with pizza cutter. Serve with cranberry butter.


Cranberry butter
1 cube butter
