Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup AP flour
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- Generous pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk, plus 1/4 cup
For the Pumpkin Spice Syrup:
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees F. (or your lowest temperature setting).
- Whisk together flour, cake mix, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Add eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and 1 cup of milk. Whisk until a thick batter comes together. If the batter is too thick, gradually add an additional 1/4 cup whole milk. The batter shouldn't be too thin, however, but not as thick as a regular cake batter either. Do not over-mix; there should still be clumps in the batter.
- Heat your frying pan with a pat of butter over medium heat and pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. You'll know when to flip the pancakes it begins to bubble. Flip and cook until golden around the edges. Repeat this process, buttering the pan when necessary.
- Keep the cooked pancakes in the preheated oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
For the Pumpkin Spice Syrup:
- Whisk together maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan (or heat-proof bowl if microwaving) over medium-low heat just until it begins to simmer. Remove and serve warmed syrup over the pancakes.
- Serve and enjoy!
