Yield 15 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all purpose flour

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix first 8 ingredients together in a large bowl to blend. Whisk buttermilk, pumpkin, eggs, vanilla and melted butter in medium bowl until well-blended. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet.
