Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a large batter bowl combine the whole wheat flours, flax meal and wheat germ. Add the spices, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix well together.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl mix together the buttermilk, pumpkin, eggs, and melted butter.

3. 3

   Stir the wet ingredients into the dry to make a thick batter.

4. 4

   Heat a lightly oiled or buttered frying pan over medium heat.

5. 5

   Pour a 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and brown on the first side. Flip the pancake when large bubbles start forming in the center of the pancake. Brown the second side.

6. 6

   Use about 1/4 cup of batter to form individual pancakes, browning them on both sides over medium heat. If cooked on high heat, the outside will burn, before the pancake is fully cooked.

   Serve pancakes hot with butter and maple syrup.
