This is the perfect autumn weekend breakfast! The Spice Hunter® Winter Sippers Hot Buttered Rum mix is a blend of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, cloves and lemon oil. This harmonious medley of ingredients is what gives these pancakes their distinctive flavor. Be sure to use real pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. To round out the meal, serve with pork sausage, vegetarian sausage (Yves brand is a favorite) or bacon.
