Pumpkin Pancakes (martha stewart recipe)

If you are like me, you probably have a container of leftover canned pumpkin in your fridge from Halloween weekend baking. I got this recipe from the Martha Stewart Magazine issue from October 2004. It's a great pancake recipe - soft and yummy. I just noticed that my sister, Melanie, also has a pumpkin pancake recipe to share, so it looks like no one around here will have leftover canned pumpkin for long! :)
