Best 7 Pan Cooked Pumpkin Recipes

FLUFFY PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices together until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, pumpkin purée, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. (A few small lumps are O.K.)
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop the pancakes into the pan by the 1/4 cup, making sure to leave plenty of room in between for the batter to expand.
• Cook for a minute or two, until the batter bubbles at the edges and browns on the bottom, then carefully flip. Cook another minute or two, until the batter is completely cooked through and the pancakes are puffy and deep golden brown. Repeat until all of the batter is used. Serve the pancakes as you make them or keep the pancakes warm as you cook them by setting them on a baking sheet in a 250-degree oven.

FRIED PUMPKIN

Steps:

• Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds, pith and outer skin. Cut into 2x3 inch pieces.
• Place 1/2 of pumpkin (2 to 3 pounds) in large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add flour and stir to evenly coat.
• Melt butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add pumpkin and cook, turning often until golden brown and tender.

A PAN-COOKED PUMPKIN WITH DUCK FAT AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and pumpkin and slice them no thicker than a generous 1/8 inch (3mm). Melt the duck fat in a shallow, nonstick pan (I choose a cast-iron one, so well used it barely needs oiling), add the potato and pumpkin slices, neatly or hugger-mugger, seasoning them with salt, black pepper, thyme or rosemary leaves, and a little chopped garlic as you go. Have the heat on low and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the slices for about twenty-five to thirty minutes. As they start to soften, press them down with a spatula so they form a sort of cake that will be golden on the bottom, with slices of potato that are soft right through. I check them for tenderness by inserting a skewer right down through the center. If it goes in effortlessly, then they are done. Serve straight from the pan.

COOKED PUMPKIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Cut pumpkin into small manageable pieces and cut off pith and seeds.
• Place cut pumpkin skin side up in a large roasting pan. Add 1/4 inch of water and bake uncovered for 1 hour or until tender. Remove from oven and allow pumpkin to cool.
• When cooled, cut away skin and mash or puree. Use in any recipe that calls for canned pureed pumpkin.

PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

SIMPLY PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
• Whisk milk, pumpkin, egg, and oil together in a bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just moistened. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
