Sunday's Pumpkin Pancakes

After the last chocolate bar was given out on Halloween night, I went to blow out the candles in my jack-o-lanterns thinking "what shall I make for breakfast" and it hit me, Pumpkin Pancakes. I try to make something special every week for Sunday breakfast. It's the one breakfast meal where my husband and I sit together as a family. We sip good coffee and have even better conversation. So here it is, just in time for Sunday, my recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes, Enjoy!
