Preheat a griddle to medium heat.  In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger.  Add in the milk, vegetable oil, and egg and mix.

Add in your canned pumpkin.  Make sure it is 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

Mix it all together.

Go ahead and butter up your griddle.

Drop by 1/4 cup onto the hot griddle.  When the edges are firm and the bubbles start popping, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side.

While your pancakes are cooking start mixing up your syrup.  In a medium pan over medium heat add in your sugar, baking soda, butter, and vanilla.

Next you can add in 1/2 cup butter milk, or if you are like me and never have butter milk, just pour some whole milk in a measuring cup to just under the half cup line, and then fill up to the half cup line with white vinegar.  Then pour that into your pan and stir.

Keep stirring often until it is all melted together and frothy.

Meanwhile don’t forget to flip your pancakes!

Lookin’ good!

When your pancakes are all done ladle on some of this glorious syrup and top with some more butter if that is your thing….It is my thing.
