Buttermilk Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes

Hey, y’all. I’m Michelle. I blog over here, and I also have an addiction to pancakes. And it’s fall, so pumpkin is ubiquitous. So the obvious thing to do was to combine the two. (I also have an addiction to coffee. So I combined coffee and pumpkin with a recipe for pumpkin spice syrup on my own blog today, too. Happy weekending!)

My favorite recipe for buttermilk pancakes is a slight adaptation from The Joy of Baking. And as far as I’m concerned, pancakes ought to be buttermilk. The tang and thickness that you get from using buttermilk in pancakes takes them from “oh, yeah. I like pancakes” to “mmmmm, pancakes.”

The key to this recipe, as with any pancake recipe, is to not overmix. And to keep the stove under medium at all times. Oh, and when you add the melted butter, make sure it’s cooled enough to not cook the eggs in the batter. Or you get scrambled egg pieces in your pancakes. Not ok.
