Pumpkin Pancakes

This is supposed to serve 4, but it would have to be 4 very hungry people. I would say it serves about 6.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin is fine)
• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
2. Combine milk, egg yolks, butter and pumpkin and stir into dry ingredients until just blended.
3. Beat egg whites until stiff. Stir 1/4 of whites into batter to lighten it. Gently fold in remaining egg whites.
4. Heat skillet over medium heat. Spoon batter onto hot oiled skillet, allowing about 3 tablespoons per pancake. Cook pancakes for about 1 1/2 minutes (or until large bubbles form on uncooked surface). Flip pancakes and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on other side.
