My kids love German Pancakes so when I am feeling really nice, I get up a few minutes earlier then normal and mix up a quick batch. Last week when I did it, I decided, in honor of fall officially being here, I owed it to the universe to cook something with pumpkin in it.
I decided to try a little experiment with pumpkin and German Pancakes. I’m here to tell you it was a success. Very Yummy and a fun variation on a regular favorite. Not to mention cooking it in round cake pans makes the finished product look a little like pumpkin pie. So fun!
You can serve with maple syrup of whipping cream if desired but we find a thorough dusting of powdered sugar to be plenty sweet.
