Pumpkin Pancakes


September 26 is National Pancake Day.  I'm not in the habit of knowing food holidays, but the date also happens to be my birthday.  Of all the food holidays I could have gotten, this is a pretty awesome one.  It's cake... in breakfast form!  Here's one of my all time favorite pancake recipes for you to enjoy.  I found roasted, salted pecan halves at Trader Joe's.  They are optional, but it's quite a nice combo with the sweet/salty thing going on.

Whisk together dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl.  Whisk together wet ingredients (milk through eggs) in a smaller bowl.  Pour wet ingredients into large bowl with flour mixture.  Stir well to combine.  Cook pancakes on hot, well-greased griddle.
