Ingredients:
8 oz. pumpkin
1 stick of cinnamon
2 cups of water
A dash of salt
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of milk
2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup of raisins
Juice of 2 oranges
2 tbsp. of Curaçao Liqueur, (rum raisin flavor)
Preparation:
Peel and seed the pumpkin. Dice it coarsely. In a pan add the water and cook the diced pumpkin with the cinnamon stick and the salt until tender. Take the cooked pumpkin out of the water. In a food processor add the pumpkin, milk, sugar and vanilla and mix to a fine consistency. Add the egg and mix. Add the baking powder and the flour and mix. If necessary, add some more flour for a medium thick mixture. Add the raisins. In a frying pan, heat a little vegetable oil. Put approx. 2 tablespoons of pumpkin mixture to form a pancake about 4" in diameter. Fry the pancake on both sides until golden brown. Make 2 pancakes per person. Mix the juice of the oranges with the Curaçao Liqueur. Put 2 pancakes on a plate and pour a little bit of the sauce over the pancakes.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream. Yield: Serves 4
