Rum Raisin Pumpkin Pancakes

Published on By: Josh and Brent

What’s better than pancakes? Pancakes with booze! These Rum Raisin Pumpkin Pancakes are perfect for an autumn adult brunch, but if you prefer to forgo the rum “punch,” the raisins can easily be soaked in orange juice or apple cider instead. (Note: the raisins must be soaked overnight, so be sure to start this recipe the evening before.)

Rum Raisin Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients

1/2 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup dark rum
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or some mixture of yogurt and regular milk.)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3 Tablespoons brown sugar, packed.
3 eggs
1/2 stuck butter, melted and slightly cooled

Night before:Soak raisins overnight in rum.

In large bowl combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, salt, and baking powder. In medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir to combine. Drain excess rum from soaked raisins (save for cocktails) and fold raisins into batter.  The batter should be wet enough to be scooped with ladle. If not, add more buttermilk or milk.

Heat stove-top griddle over medium flame. Pour batter onto griddle. Flip once when ready, and serve warm.

    Delicious! I made a these last night for dinner…love having breakfast for dinner. :)
    My husband was a little leery to try the ‘unknown’, but loved them. I did not soak the raisins overnight so they were not as flavorful, but next time I will. This will become our new holiday special breakfast. Thank you!!

    These pancakes are to die for. Made them out of pumpkin puree from the garden and eggs from the hens. Made a double batch and froze the extras in groups of 3 to nuke later. Thanks for a winner of a recipe!
