Engage the entire family in a fun and interactive cooking adventure, perfect for Halloween morning or a festive ‘breakfast for dinner’ experience. The kiddos will love flexing their creativity making spooky designs on their pancakes with black syrup… if they can wait that long before devouring.

ingredients

pancakes

• 2 eggs
• 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (see note)
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 tablespoons canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie puree)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose white or gluten-free flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1-2 tablespoons The Ginger People® Turmeric Juice, optional

syrup

• ½ bottle The Ginger People® Fiji Ginger Syrup 
• 2 teaspoons activated charcoal, or other natural black food coloring

directions

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat with non-stick spray.
2. Mix eggs, buttermilk, butter, pumpkin, sugar and salt in a bowl.
3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Add Turmeric Juice a little at a time until desired orange color is achieved.
4. Pour or scoop the batter onto a hot skillet. We like to use a ¼ cup measuring cup for uniformity.
5. Cook for 1-2 minutes each side until they are golden brown and the edges are crispy.
6. In a saucepan, warm the Ginger Syrup on low heat, stirring constantly. Add the activated charcoal and stir until completely combined.
