- 2 tablespoons- Adagio Pumpkin Spice Tea
- 2 cups - Water
- Ingredients for Buttery Pumpkin Spice Syrup
- 2/3 cup - Strong Adagio Pumpkin Spice Tea
- 2 tablespoons- Butter
- 2/3 cup - Sugar
- Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Pancakes:
- 2 cups - Complete Pancake Mix (any brand, the kind that you only add water to)
- 1 1/3 cups - Strong Strong Pumpkin Spice Tea
- 3-4 tablespoons - Butter (as needed to grease griddle and top pancakes)
- 1 can - Whipped Cream
- 1 tsp - Finely ground Adagio Pumpkin Spice Tea
Directions
Brew a strong Pumpkin Spice tea with the 2 tablespoons of tea in 2 cups of boiling water for 3 minutes.
To make the Buttery Pumpkin Spice Syrup:
Combine 2 tablespoons butter, 2/3 cup of the strong brewed tea in a saucepan with 2/3 cup sugar. Using medium high heat stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a full boil, quit stirring but let mixture boil until it reaches 225 degrees on a candy thermometer. Once this temperature is achieved, transfer syrup to a glass measuring cup so it stops cooking. Set aside while you prepare the pancakes or, if making in advance refrigerate and reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm.
To make Pumpkin Spice Pancakes:
Preheat lightly buttered griddle until small water drops sizzle then disappear. Mix 2 cups complete pancake mix with 1 1/3 cup strong tea until smooth. If batter is to thick add a bit of water. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto hot griddle. Turn pancakes when edges look cooked. Use butter as needed in between cooking pancakes. Top with a bit more butter if desired.
To serve, stack 2 or three pancakes on a plate, drizzle with warm Buttery Pumpkin Spice Syrup. Squirt a pile of whipped cream on top, add another drizzle of Buttery Pumpkin Spice Syrup and garnish with a pinch of finely ground Pumpkin Spice Tea. Serve hot.
