Main Ingredients
- 1.2kg Old Pumpkin
Seasoning & Batter Ingredients
- 2/3 Tbsp Salt
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 cups Pancake Mix
- 3 Tbsp Potato Starch
- 2/3 Tbsp Salt
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 cups Pancake Mix
- 3 Tbsp Potato Starch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the old pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin into 6 large pieces. Carefully peel off the thick skin with a knife. Then, use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds and fibrous insides. (Tip: The pumpkin can be quite hard, so handle it with care!)
Step 2
Before blending the pumpkin, cut the pumpkin pieces into smaller, manageable chunks with a knife. This will help ensure a smoother blend in the next step.
Step 3
Place the chopped old pumpkin into a blender or food processor. You may add a tiny bit of water if needed to help it blend smoothly into a fine, pureed consistency. Ensure there are no large lumps remaining.
Step 4
To the pureed pumpkin, add 2/3 Tbsp of salt and 3 Tbsp of sugar. Mix them thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the pumpkin to release its natural moisture and absorb the seasoning.
Step 5
After the pumpkin has rested, check for any excess liquid. Add 2 cups of pancake mix and 3 Tbsp of potato starch to the mixture. Adding potato starch will give the pancakes a wonderfully chewy and delightful texture.
Step 6
Using a spatula or spoon, stir everything together until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into the pumpkin mixture. You should have a batter that is neither too thin nor too thick.
Step 7
Now it’s time to cook the old pumpkin pancakes. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Ladle portions of the batter onto the hot pan. Cook each pancake until it’s golden brown and beautifully cooked on both sides. (Tip: Add a little more oil if the pan seems dry, to prevent sticking and burning.)
Step 8
Your delicious old pumpkin pancakes are ready! You can make them large and cut them into bite-sized pieces with chopsticks, or fry them in smaller, individual portions for easier handling. Enjoy these pancakes filled with the sweet taste of autumn!
