Adding pumpkin spice pudding mix to the batter not only adds a wonderful flavor but also makes the pancakes fluffy and custardy on the inside. We save a tablespoon of pudding to add to whipped cream for an extra bit of spice and to keep it fluffy longer.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 1/4 cups milk

One 3.4-ounce package pumpkin spice instant pudding mix

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan

1 cup heavy cream

Maple syrup, for serving

Directions

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Pour the milk into a 4-cup measuring cup or medium bowl. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the pudding mix and set aside. Whisk the remaining pudding mix into the milk, whisking until it begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine.
  3. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add to the milk mixture and whisk to combine.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk until a thick batter is formed. With the skillet over medium heat, ladle the batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet, making 2 to 3 pancakes at a time. Cook, adjusting the heat as needed, until bubbles break on the surface of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until browned on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  5. Meanwhile, place the heavy cream and reserved 1 tablespoon pudding mix in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium-high until medium peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes; the cream will thicken further as it sits. Serve the pancakes dolloped with whipped cream and with maple syrup on the side.
