I made 'Gilmore Girls' inspired pumpkin pancakes and it felt as though I'd been transported to Stars Hollow

Although the official recipe was never shared on the show, several TikTokers have made videos showing their recreations of the dish. I was inspired by a recipe shared by @leah_magss and made a couple of adjustments based on the ingredients in my cupboard as well as to reduce the portion size.

Here are the ingredients I used to make four pancakes:

For the cinnamon butter

• A stick of butter

• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar

• 3 tablespoons of cinnamon

• 3 tablespoons of honey.

For the pancakes

• 1 and ¾ cups of flour

• 1/3 cup of sugar

• 4 teaspoons of baking powder

• 1 and ¼ cup of milk

• 1 egg

• 1 cup of pumpkin puree.

Making the cinnamon butter was incredibly easy and only took five minutes. I simply gathered the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and honey, and placed it in a small food processor for a couple of seconds.

I had never tried cinnamon butter before, so I took this opportunity to sample a taste — it was divine.

After placing the cinnamon butter in the fridge, I gathered my dry ingredients, which included sieved flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.

I whisked the milk and one egg into the mixture before measuring out one cup of pumpkin puree and combining.

I whisked the pumpkin puree into the pancake mixture until it formed a soft, silky consistency.

I added a splash of oil to the pan and allowed it to heat up for a couple of seconds before pouring on the first batch of batter.

I took the pancake off the pan after a couple of minutes when it turned golden brown. Unfortunately, I accidentally tore part of the pancake with my spatula while flipping it over.

I made a total of four pancakes, and while they tasted delightful, the burned aesthetic of this particular pancake would have never been allowed in Luke's Dinner.

Despite a couple of mishaps, I was happy with how the pancakes turned out. They were very simple to make and it took around 30 minutes, including the time it took to make the cinnamon butter.

This also marked my first time trying pumpkin pancakes, as pumpkin-flavored treats aren't as popular in my home in the UK as they are in the US. They didn't disappoint.

The sugary consistency of the cinnamon butter was paired brilliantly with the fluffy pancakes. And while the entire dish was great, the cinnamon butter was definitely a highlight for me and I'm hopeful I'll find other desserts to pair it with in the future.

My only complaint is that the butter was only enough for two pancakes, so I'd recommend doubling the quantities if you plan to follow the recipe I've shared.
