Pumpkin Pancakes

This recipe of pumpkin pancakes is a recipe I inherited from my late grandmother and my mother. These pumpkin pancakes can be eaten all day. There is more pumpkin in them than in the American or Dutch pancakes. My mother makes them with raisins. When I make them, I leave out the raisins or replace them by nuts. I don’t like raisins. These pumpkins are more savory then the Dutch ones.

Ingredients

• As much pumpkin as can

• Water

• Flour

• Milk

• 1 Egg

• Raisins or nuts or both

Making Of The Arepa di Pampuna
