Instructions

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until golden and aromatic, then transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.

2. Add pumpkin puree and brown sugar to browned butter and whisk until smooth.

3. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined.

4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.

5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Do not overmix.

6. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly butter it.

7. Pour 1/2 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top, about 1½ minutes.

8. Flip and cook another 1½ minutes until golden.

9. Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make cinnamon butter.

10. Serve pancakes stacked with a dollop of cinnamon butter and maple syrup.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.

Cook on moderate heat to prevent burning.

Browned butter adds rich flavor but regular melted butter works too.

Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze up to 2 months.
