– One egg (Nope, not two. Just one.)
– Just a splash of milk: 2 tablespoons, about 30ml
– A little puff magic aka baking powder: 1/2 teaspoon, which is 2.5g
– Cinnamon for that sweet spice: 1/2 teaspoon or around 1.3g
– A hint of nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon, that’s like 0.6g

HOW TO MAKE YOUR Pumpkin pikelets

1. First off, mix your dry ingredients. So that’s your flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Keep it casual; no need for perfection.
2. In a different bowl, because we don’t want a mess, whisk together pumpkin, that one egg, and milk.
3. Slowly play matchmaker – bring the wet and dry ingredients together. Mix, but don’t overdo it.
4. Get your pan hot, not smoking, just medium heat. A dab of butter will do.
5. Time to make those pikelets. Spoonfuls onto the pan. They grow fast; flip in 2 minutes or when they look golden and happy.

Things I’ve Learned (And You Should Know

1. Mashing the pumpkin well means smoother pikelets.
2. If your batter is too thick, and I mean pancake-thick, just add a wee bit more milk.
3. Seriously, keep an eye on them. Golden = Perfect. Black = Not so much.

Serve it Up

These beauties are best hot. Maybe throw on some honey, a sprinkle of sugar, or even a spoonful of yogurt on the side. And hey, coffee or tea alongside? Breakfast game strong!
