Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
2. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
