Pumpkin Pancakes

Brother Jason and his iPad came home for the weekend.  He downloaded an awesome app called Talking Tom, an animated kitty cat/voice recorder that repeats everything said in an adorable, animated kitty kind of way.  Mom and I loved it and it became Mom's vanity accessory for the weekend.  During the football game, while yelling terrible things at the 18-year-old kids that play for OU, she had it on her lap, repeating everything she said.  Tell me she's not adorably nuts.

Onto the food - every fall, Mom buys one tin of the Williams Sonoma pumpkin pancake mix and having it on Sunday mornings is a real treat.  However, because no one in our house has much self control, the mix is usually gone within a month.  We finally decided to stop being slackers, relying on others to prepare the food we can surely prepare ourselves, and find a recipe of our own.  Here's the recipe we have come up with to cure the pumpkin pancake craving.

Ingredients:

2 cups Bisquick
2 large eggs
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.  Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth.  Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, ladle the mix into the frying pan.  Cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown.
