Mmh, pumpkins and pancakes! Two things that, at first glance, might seem as mismatched as wearing wellies with a ball gown. But, darling readers, in the whimsical world of Flying Tiger Copenhagen, we believe in the unexpected. So, why not marry the autumnal charm of pumpkins with the breakfast royalty that is the pancake? If you're scratching your head and thinking, "Is this a culinary match made in heaven or just a quirky experiment?", you're about to find out.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups of self-raising flour (because our pancakes deserve that extra bounce)

¾ cup of fresh pumpkin puree (the heart and soul of this recipe)

3 tablespoons of caster sugar (for that subtle sweet whisper)

¼ teaspoon of salt (to balance out the sweetness)

½ teaspoon of cardamom or cinnamon (or both if you're feeling adventurous)

2 large eggs (the binding agents of our culinary masterpiece)

1 ¼ cups of milk (for that smooth batter consistency)

2 tablespoons of melted butter (plus a bit extra for frying)

Method

Preparation: 

Begin by ensuring your pumpkin puree is smooth. If you're making it from scratch, simply roast or steam pumpkin chunks until tender, then blend until smooth. Remember, fresh is best – it's like comparing a live concert to a radio jingle.

Let's get to the mixing. In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour. This not only ensures there are no lumps but also aerates the flour, giving our pancakes that dreamy fluffiness. Add the caster sugar, salt, and your chosen spices. Give it a little whisk – think of it as stirring in a bit of magic. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Now, gently fold everything together. The key is to mix until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine – they're like the charming imperfections that make us unique.

Cooking: 

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a smidge of butter. Once it's melted and the pan is hot, ladle in some batter to form a pancake. Cook until you see little bubbles form on the surface, then flip it over. Aim for that enchanting golden-brown hue on both sides. Repeat until all the batter is used up. 

Serving Suggestions: 

Lay your pancakes on a plate. Drizzle with golden syrup or, for an extra touch, a generous dollop of cream. And if you're pondering, "Could I possibly add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a handful of fresh berries?", our answer is a resounding, "Absolutely!"

So, there we have it! A delightful fusion of British and Danish culinary quirks, all wrapped up in a pancake. Now, we know what you might be thinking: "Is this the next big thing in breakfasts or just a fanciful fad?" Well, why not pop over to Flying Tiger Copenhagen and decide for yourself? And while you're at it, share your pumpkin pancake tales with us. Because, after all, isn't life just a bit more fun with a sprinkle of the unexpected?
