Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup pecan halves
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, separated
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Maple syrup, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar begins to melt. Add the pecans and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer the pecan mixture to a small dish and set aside. Reserve the skillet for the pancake.

In a small bowl mix together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, sugar and salt. Set aside.

Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. In a large bowl, add egg yolks, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter and whisk until blended. Gradually whisk in flour mixture. Stir in the pumpkin puree.

Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and gently fold into the pumpkin mixture. Gently spoon the batter into the reserved skillet. Sprinkle the top of the pancake mixture with the reserved pecan mixture. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Dust the pancake with confectioners' sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup.

Easy and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wonderful to make for family breakfast that allows the cook to enjoy eatiing with family or friends. Good idea to read other... comments before you try the recipe, there are some good suggestions. The pancake turned out just like Katie's, not sure why some had problems, Maybe eggs need to be at room temperature. I over whipped my eggs whites and it still turned out great. I can't wait t to try it again with chopped nuts, all the pumpkin in the can and more pumpkin pie spice.Read more

Perfect recipe as is!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So I was nervous about making this pumpkin pancake for a brunch that I had this past weekend. I didn't have a cast iron... skillet, and I wasn't sure if my regular one would do the job. I've never made a souffle before either so I was also worried about it falling flat. Well, I followed the recipe exactly, using my regular skillet, and it came out perfectly with no flatness or falling!!! It is surprisingly light and very souffle like in texture. The flavor was great, (pumpkin and candied walnuts..what could be bad about that?) and it was completely devoured at the brunch. The only thing I can say about it not falling was that I made sure the eggs were at room temp before beating them, and I made sure to fold them very gently into the mixture. I also used the syrup recipe that a previous reviewer here put - http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Absolute-Best-Pancake-Syrup/Detail.aspx - and I will tell you right now it is pure ambrosia. The best alternative to classic maple syrup if you are looking for something rich, cinnamony and buttery. Goes perfect with this very light pancake but honestly you could put it on cardboard and it would taste good too.Read more

Below expectations
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

My husband & I were really excited to make this recipe since we love pumpkins and pancakes. I followed the directions and per... other reviews, I added 1/4 tsp baking powder and reduced the sugar by 2 tbsps. I actually didn't think it was sweet enough so I shouldn't have changed the amount of sugar I put in. I didn't think the pancake was too flavorful. I was expecting somewhat of a pancake texture and it didn't have that either. I wouldn't make this again. Read more
