HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN AND SPICE BAT FLAPPING JACKS

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, unbleached if available
3 Tablespoons sugar, granulated
2 teaspoons fresh baking powder (Check expiration date)
1-1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or a cinnamon and nutmeg blend
3/4 teaspoon salt, plain or iodized
1-1/3 cups fresh whole milk (Check Date)
1 cup canned pure pumpkin or homemade from the pumpkin patch
4 large fresh eggs, separated (Check Date)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) fresh butter, unsalted, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Open your pantry and kitchen cupboard doors and carefully check inside for Bats, Ghosts or Goblins...!

Whisk first 5 ingredients in large mixing bowl to blend. Whisk milk, pumpkin, egg yolks, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl to blend well. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients; whisk just until smooth (batter will be thick). Using your electric mixer; beat egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter in 2 additions.

Brush large nonstick griddle or skillet with oil; heat over medium heat. Working in batches, pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form on surface of pancakes and bottoms are brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with oil between batches.

Serve hot with Maple syrup. Save some of these delicious pumpkin pancakes (flapjacks) for yourself, if you can...!

These Halloween pumpkin pancakes are perfect for a fall menu, Autumn brunch, Halloween morning or Thanksgiving Day.

Please enjoy this recipe and have a very happy and safe Halloween and Holiday season.
