Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra sugar for topping
1/2 teaspoon dried ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup mashed pumpkin (canned pumpkin may be used)
3 cups milk
Butter for frying

Steps:

Combine flour, cornmeal, 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar, ginger and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Combine eggs and pumpkin, and beat into the flour mixture. Add milk slowly to make a smooth batter.
Heat butter in a frying pan or crepe pan about 8 inches in diameter. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter in the pan, and swirl around to make a thick pancake. Cook on both sides until nicely browned. Serve hot, heavily dusted with confectioners' sugar.
