Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
