Luke's Diner Pumpkin Pancakes Made Easy (Krusteaz Mix Recipe)

Mix the Krusteaz mix, water, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until well incorporated. Do not overmix as this could cause the pancakes to turn out tough/rubbery.
1 cup Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix, ⅔ cup cold water, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, ¼ cup pure pumpkin, 1 tbsp light brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Melt butter in a medium frying pan on medium/low heat, enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. When the butter has melted, add your pancake batter. This recipe will make 5-6 small pancakes (about 4 inches across) or 2-3 larger pancakes.
Butter or neutral oil to cook pancakes in
Allow the pancakes to cook until you can see the outer edge beginning to cook through, approximately 3 minutes depending on heat and size of the pancake. Flip and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Serve with cinnamon butter or maple syrup- or both! Enjoy!

Using a hand mixer, beat together the room-temperature butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
4 tbsp salted butter, 1 tsp honey, ½ tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp ground cinnnamon, 1 tsp brown sugar
Either serve right away or store in the fridge. I like to roll it into a ball using plastic wrap, but you could also store the butter in a jar or other container.
