DIRECTIONS:
Mix the 2 tsp. cinnamon and the 4 Tbsp. sugar together and set aside.
I add the pumpkin, flour, egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder and salt together and mix until fully incorporated.
To a skillet, over medium-high heat, add the butter and the oil.
I drop about 2 tablespoons batter into the heated oil/butter mixture and lightly flatten with a spatula. (Cook a few at a time)
Cook until light golden brown on one side, flip and cook on the other side until light golden brown. About 3-4 minutes per side.
Immediately sprinkle both sides with a little bit of the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Best served warm.
