Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup pumpkin purée
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for the griddle)
Maple syrup, for serving
Pepitas (pumpkin seeds), for topping
Star anise (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin purée, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
Preheat the griddle: Heat your bella 12” x 22” XL Griddle with Warming Tray to medium. Lightly butter the surface.
Cook the pancakes: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Move finished pancakes to the warming tray while you finish the batch.
Serve: Stack pancakes on plates. Drizzle with warm maple syrup, sprinkle with pepitas, and garnish with star anise if using. Serve immediately.
