Pumpkin pancakes with Occelli® butter

First, prepare the pumpkin: cut it into chunks and steam it for 5-10 minutes or until soft (cut it into small pieces to reduce cooking time). Alternatively, you can also bake it in the oven if you prefer.

Once cooked, let it cool a little and then blend it to a puree (if you don't have a blender or a minipimer, you can simply mash it well with a fork).

Melt the Occelli® butter in a small saucepan. Combine all the liquid ingredients in a bowl: the lightly beaten egg, the milk and the melted butter. Stir in the pumpkin puree and mix well.

Separately, mix the dry ingredients together: flour, yeast, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Now combine the two compounds, working everything well with a whisk to avoid the formation of lumps: you need to get a smooth batter.

Heat a non-stick pan, melt a pad of butter in it and pour in a ladleful of the mixture. Turn the pancake with a spatula when bubbles form on the surface and brown it well on the other side. Continue in this way until all the batter is used up, basting the pan from time to time if necessary.

Serve the pancakes stacked on top of each other, accompanied by honey and Occelli® butter chunks!
