Although Thanksgiving is only 10 days away, there’s still time to consider serving something different.
If you have family and friends coming in for breakfast, try these pancakes with a twist. It comes from a book that is so old, the staple on the pages has rusted — but the recipes are still good.
This recipe comes from the Circleville Pumpkin Show, “the longest free show in the world.” All of the recipes have pumpkin as the main ingredient. Here is just one of them.
