Recipe Review

This recipe was a little more involved than I had bargained for but that was completely my own fault for not reading the recipe all the way through before starting.

First of all, the recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice which I refuse to buy on principle. This meant I had to look up a recipe for pumpkin pie spice so I'd get the ratios correct. Later, I realized that the recipe called for melted and cooled butter as well as separated eggs with beaten egg whites. None of these were problematic on their own but while trying to fry bacon and get the rest of the recipe together, they threw me for a loop.

After I made the first 12 pancakes and they were rather flat, I took another look at the recipe and realized I left out the baking powder. I then added half the amount called for to the rest of the recipe.

Even with all these little problems, the pancakes were delicious. They had a nice, moist fruity flavor. The pumpkin lovers loved them while the haters were not so fond. We added chocolate chips to the pancakes because pumpkin and chocolate go so well together.

Beth - this reminds me of how I cook! Your review made me smile, and reminded me of my own experience with pumpkin pancakes.

And I don't think a cookbook with "easy" in the title should have you beating your eggwhites for pancakes!

LOL - I thought the same thing about the "easy" title. That being said, I really like this cookbook and the pancakes were delicious. I know better than to not read through an entire recipe before starting to cook.
