Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1.75 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 0.75 cup pumpkin puree
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1.3333333730698 cups cake flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until blended. Whisk in melted butter.

Step 2

Whisk cake flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold egg whites into buttermilk-flour mixture to form pancake batter.

Step 4

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
