Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"This was one of the best pumpkin pancake recipes I have tried," says Berta. I added a large handful of chopped pecans and it was even better. My family raved! Serve with real maple syrup, if you can...it does make a difference."

"These were awesome, even the next day," according to Jordan Luna. "It makes a lot of thick batter, so we put the rest in the fridge and had more the next day. I liked it when the oil was really hot in the pan and it crisped up the edges."

"I love these," raves Robyn. "Such a beautiful sunny color, and cozy flavor. I used evaporated milk and 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour. Yummy! "
