Pumpkin Pancakes

Searching for new recipes for the holidays, I found this one in a little cookbook that I had bought for one dollar quite a few years ago. It is a little cookbook that is called Holiday Celebrations, which was on a bargain table at Mardels back in Dallas. I have used so many recipes out of it and this one will make your Thanksgiving morning or Christmas morning breakfast so easy for those who just can’t get enough pumpkin during their holidays. Wouldn’t these be wonderful sitting down to them with a cup of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte?

2 cups biscuit ix

2 tables packed light brown sugar

2 teas ground cinnamon

1 teas ground allspice

1 1/2 cups undiluted evaporated milk (not Eagle Brand but Pet Evaporated Milk)

1/2 cup solid packed pumpkin

2 table oil

2 eggs

1 teas vanilla

Combine all dry ingredients. Add evaporated milk, pumpkin, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

Pour 1/2 cup batter onto lightly greased, preheated griddle. Cook until bubbly on top and edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden brown. Serve warm with syrup.

Almond Punch

 

A friend called today and requested a recipe for a punch to make for a shower. I suggested the almond punch as it is so different from the usual lime punch and I put a little spin on this recipe by adding 3 mashed bananas at the time of adding the ginger ale………it is so refreshing and so different.

 

Almond Punch

1 small box lemon Jell-O,
    dissolved in 2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 cups cool water
1 large can pineapple juice
8 ounces lemon juice
1 ounce almond extract
2 liters ginger ale

Mix Jell-O and sugar, and stir to dissolve. Add cool water, pineapple juice, lemon juice and almond extract. Freeze in gallon zip-type bags.

Thaw for 2-4 hours before serving.

Add 2 liters of ginger ale at serving time.
