Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that's never been easier to make.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add the cold water and whisk again until incorporated.
Pour mixture into a pre-baked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 45 minutes or until the knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool before serving.
Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
The most popular pumpkin recipe we see is the pumpkin spice latte. It's a favorite drink of many during fall and is perfect for those chilly autumn days.
The ingredients: espresso, brewed coffee, pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon), and milk (or half and half).
To make this recipe, start by adding the espresso grounds to a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Boil it until it is reduced by about half. Then add brewed coffee, spices, and milk. Stir them together before you pour your latte into your mug!
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes Recipe
Pumpkin spice pancakes are one of the most popular pumpkin recipes. These pancakes are so good, you'll never want to eat plain old pancakes again. It's easy to make these pancakes, since they're made with regular pancake flour and you can use regular milk.
To start this recipe, mix together your dry ingredients in a bowl: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients: 4 tablespoons melted butter, 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), 3/4 cup whole milk, 2 eggs. Mix everything together until there are no lumps left.
Heat your frying pan or skillet on medium-high heat for about three minutes before cooking your pancakes on it. When the pan is hot enough, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to coat it and then pour in your batter—about 1/4 cup should be perfect for a small pancake. Cook the pancake on one side until bubbles start popping up on the surface and flip it over when it starts to turn golden brown.
These pancakes will be finished cooking once they turn a golden brown color and have bubbles popping up from the surface of them.
Pumpkin Cake Recipe
Start off your fall with this delicious, moist pumpkin cake that's perfect for the season.
Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in an egg. Add in the honey, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree to make a smooth batter. Slowly add the flour mixture in two parts until fully incorporated. Grease a round 8" baking or pie dish with cooking spray and spread the batter evenly across it. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once done, remove from oven to cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting if desired!
