Ingredients

White all-purpose flour

½ cup(s)

Baking powder

2 tsp

Table salt

½ tsp, or to taste

Ground cinnamon

1 tsp

Canned pumpkin

15 oz

Egg(s)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin with egg yolks; mix until well-combined.
  3. In another small bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form.
  4. Alternating in batches, add flour mixture and egg whites to pumpkin mixture, stirring after each addition.
  5. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray; set over medium-low heat. Add a teaspoon oil; heat until oil shimmers.
