So cute but so hard to get out of the pan. They require a lot of greasing and flouring into all the nooks and crannies. I used a pastry brush to get it good and greased and then flour it. You have to almost shine a flashlight inside to make sure there are no bare spots, otherwise little pieces will stick when you flip it. On a frosted cake that might not matter as much, but when you are just glazing or sprinkling powdered sugar on it, it does not hide imperfections. Of course, Pat didn't care how it looked, he ate our first try when we didn't prepare the pans enough and it looked like a first grader made it. I have to laugh at him though, he requires frosting on all cakes. So I made some frosting and put it in a pastry bag just for him to squirt on his slice (or quarter) of cake.

You know, this could be like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Cake Pans!

Can't you just spray the cake pan with Pam? That should easily get all the nooks and crannies.

I used Pam the first time but it didn't seem to be enough, so the second time I sprayed, swiped it around with the pastry brush and then floured. Much better the second time.

Pumpkin Whip

1 3.4oz pkg instant butterscotch pudding
1 1/2 cup cold milk
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/2 cup whipped topping

Beat pudding and milk until blended well. Add pumpkin and spice and blend well. Fold in whipped topping. It says divide into 6 serving bowls and chill until firm, but you can leave it in a big bowl. Serve with those graham cracker sticks or ginger snaps.

I bet those would be good with dried cranberries in them instead of raisins or chocolate chips.

Here is one my sons love to eat for breakfast and cold out of the frig.

12 oz evaporated milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Bisquick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
( I use more, but am not sure how much)
2 eggs

In a bowl, combine Bisquick, brown sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients and mix well.

Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls into a lightly greased griddle.

These freeze well.


If recipe is doubled a 15 oz can of pumpkin can be used. It does make the pancakes heavier, but the boys still love them and I don't have half a can of pumpin.
