Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cooked pumpkin, pureed
2 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons melted butter

Instructions:

*The vegetable can be leftover pumpkin or squash that has been baked with maple syrup, honey, or, some other sweetener and butter, or sweetened sweet potatoes or perhaps even sweetened parsnips. Remove any skin and puree the vegetable in a food processor or put through a vegetable mill.
Toss or sift the flours, baking powder, and salt together. Beat the vegetable puree with the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter, and mix with the dry ingredients. Beat the egg whites until they hold firm peaks and fold them into the batter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto a preheated, lightly greased griddle.
Bake until bubbles appear on the surface, then turn and bake the other side until lightly browned.
Serve with butter and warm maple syrup.
