Pumpkin Pancakes Tipped with Homemade Caramel Sauce & Chopped Pecans

I have a recipe for pumpkin pancakes and it calls for using the pancake mix in the box where you just add water. On Saturday morning my husband and I were so excited for these pancakes. I open the box and measure out one cup of mix, to my horror there are bugs!!!!! I was so upset but I was also so determined to make these pancakes. I saw that my new favorite place to get recipes, Laura In The Kitchen http://www.laurainthekitchen.com/arch/pumpkin_pancakes.html had a recipe for them and they were made from scratch. I did like this recipe very much and I paired it with my topping I normally make with my pumpkin pancakes, caramel sauce with chopped pecans. I am not a pumpkin fan but I do like these very much and it is awesome year round but especially during the holidays!

Pumpkin Pancakes: Serves 3-4 Ingredients 1 cup of Flour 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar 1 Tbsp Regular Sugar ½ tsp Baking Soda 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice ½ tsp Salt ½ cup of Evaporated Milk (you can use regular milk, just omit the water, this is what I did) ¼ cup of Water 1 egg 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil ½ cup Pumpkin Puree Preparation, 1) Preheat a griddle or a non stick skillet over medium heat and spray it with non stick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter. 2) In a large bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients and set aside. 3) In a medium bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together to make sure everything is well combined. 4) Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour your pancake batter on the preheated and greased griddle. 5) Cook for about a couple minutes on each side or until cooked through. 6) Serve warm drizzled with homemade caramel sauce with chopped pecans. Caramel Pecan Topping: Ingredients: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup light corn syrup 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 chopped pecans Instructions: Put all of the ingredient except the pecans in a saucepan. When all the pancakes are done put them on individual plates. Heat the sauce until it boils. Remove from the heat and add the pecans. Drizzle over pancakes. Enjoy!
