Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1¾ cups buttermilk
1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for cooking)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Powdered sugar (for topping)
Optional: pumpkin-shaped pancake mold, cinnamon stick for “stem”
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs, then mix in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients just until smooth—don’t overmix.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter.
Pour batter into a pumpkin-shaped mold or free-form a pumpkin shape.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Dust with powdered sugar. Add cinnamon stick “stem” and use a stencil to create a jack-o’-lantern face if desired.
