Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup halved pecans
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1-1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup pure pumpkin purée (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- confectioners’ sugar
- pure maple syrup
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Pour 3 tablespoons of the butter into a medium bowl and set aside. Add the brown sugar to the remaining butter in the skillet. Stir until the sugar begins to melt. Add the pecans and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the pecans to a small dish and set aside. Reserve the skillet for the pancakes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Add the egg yolks, buttermilk, and vanilla to the bowl of reserved melted butter and whisk until blended. Gradually whisk in flour mixture.
- Stir in the pumpkin purée. Set aside.
- In a very clean bowl, whip the egg whites using an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture.
- Gently spoon the batter into the reserved skillet. Sprinkle the top with the reserved pecans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Dust the pancake with confectioners’ sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup.
