Thanksgiving Pancakes

The next two Saturdays I want to share a couple of "seasonal" pancakes for Thanksgiving.  For me Thanksgiving means foods like pumpkin and cranberries.  We are all familiar with these items in pies and relish but I always think how they would work in pancakes, my favorable breakfast food.  So today here the first one.

Pumpkin Sweet Potato Pancakes

1/2 Cup pumpkin

1/2 Cup pureed sweet potato from a can in heavy syrup ( pour some of the heavy syrup in the food blender)

2 cups pancake mix

1 egg

2 teaspoons baking powder

Add milk to get the right pancake batter consistency you like

I let the batter sit for 5 minutes to let the baking powder work

For a lighter pancake substitute 2 beaten egg whites for the baking powder.
