Pumpkin Pancakes

A different approach to a holiday tradition. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Combine milk, butter and eggs, and add to flour mixture. Add pumpkin and pecans and stir until fairly smooth. Heat griddle or frying pan to moderately hot and grease lightly before cooking each batch of pancakes. Use approxima 1/4 cup butter for each one. Cook until bubbles form and begin to break on top. Flip and brown other side.

Serve with maple syrup.
