Ingredients
- Pancakes:
- 2 cup(s) flour, all-purpose
- 2 tablespoon sugar, brown
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cup(s) milk, fat-free
- 1 cup(s) pumpkin
- 1/2 cup(s) refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
- 2 tablespoon oil, cooking
- cooking spray
- Mousse:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 TBS confectioners sugar
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pumpkin Pancakes:
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.
- In another medium bowl combine the milk, pumpkin, egg product, and oil. Add the milk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
- Lightly coat a nonstick griddle or heavy skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes or until pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Turn pancakes; cook about 2 minutes more or until golden brown.
- Mousse:
- To serve, whisk heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until stiff. Using an Ateco #864 star tip, pipe whipped cream in rosettes onto pie (or spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie with a spatula). Sift remaining tablespoon cinnamon on top. Serve chilled.
