Jack-O-Lantern Face Pancake

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons melted butter plus 1 tablespoon for frying
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 stick of butter
Strawberry syrup

Instructions:

In a large bowl blend flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and spice together well. In another large bowl blend eggs. Add milk and stir. Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter and canned pumpkin. Stir until all ingredients are mixed together well. Gradually add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture. Stir until all dry ingredients are moistened only. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Heat pancake griddle on medium heat to 350 degrees. Test temperature by putting a few drops of water on the griddle. If they bubble your temperature is just right.

Place 1 tablespoon of butter on griddle. Pour 1/2 cup of batter on griddle. Cook pancake until bubbles appear on top. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown. To serve place 2-3 pancakes on top of each other. On top pancake take 3 slices of butter cut into triangle shape. Place 2 triangles at top of pancake for the eyes and one in the middle for the nose.

Make the pumpkin mouth with strawberry syrup.
