Christ is Risen!!!

Happy Easter to those celebrating according to the old calendar (including us)!

Here was breakfast for the kids this morning - these are almost like eating dessert for breakfast. The outside is like a normal pancake but then you cut into it and the inside is like a little pumpkin pie. Heavenly with a pat of real butter, whipped cream and maple syrup ... we settled for serving with some syrup this morning.

Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, and 1/4 tsp each cloves and nutmeg)
2 large eggs (can use 1/2 cup egg beaters instead)
1 15oz. can pumpkin (not the mix)
1 12oz. can evaporated milk (skim evaporated is fine)
2 cups baking mix (low fat okay)

Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a small bowl. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually whisk in evaporated milk. Stir in baking mix, one cup at a time.

In 1/8 cup portions, pour onto a lightly buttered electric skillet pre-heated to 325F. Cook on first side for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 more minutes.
