Ingredients
  

Fluffy Pancake Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3 tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or whole milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • 1 cup pure canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Whipped Maple Cinnamon Butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Method
 

Whisk Dry & Wet Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until uniformly blended.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold with a rubber spatula just until combined and flour pockets disappear. Do not overmix! Small lumps are normal and essential for fluffy pancakes. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
Griddle to Golden Perfection
  1. Heat a non-stick griddle or heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat (approx 350°F / 175°C). Lightly brush surface with melted butter.
  2. Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and edges look set.
  3. Gently flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through the center.
  4. Whip softened butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt in a small bowl until fluffy. Serve pancakes warm topped with a generous dollop of maple butter and warm pure maple syrup.
