And here you have it — a stack of warm, spiced pumpkin pancakes that would make even Luke crack a smile. Whether you’re enjoying them solo with a big mug of coffee, or serving them up for family while Gilmore Girls plays in the background, these pancakes bring a little slice of Stars Hollow into your own kitchen. If you give them a try, I’d love to hear how they turned out — did you top yours with extra cinnamon butter, or maybe add a drizzle of maple syrup worthy of a Friday night dinner? However you enjoy them, consider this your official invitation to slow down, savor the season, and let a little Gilmore magic fill your morning.
Ingredients (makes about 10 pancakes)
For the pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
½ cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cinnamon butter
4 tablespoons softened butter
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Tiny drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Make the cinnamon butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and honey (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined — batter should be a little lumpy. Don’t overmix.
Cook: Heat a lightly buttered skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve: Stack pancakes high, add a slice or dollop of cinnamon butter on top, and let it melt into the warm pancakes. Serve with maple syrup if you like.
