Pumpkin Pancakes

Pancakes perfect for a chilly Fall morning, offering an incentive to get out from under the covers and warming in a way that your usual cereal or yogurt could never be. These pancakes are fluffier and thicker than your typical pancake thanks to the addition of the pumpkin, and are packed with pumpkin’s usual sidekicks -- ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
