Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well mixed and set aside. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
Add the pumpkin puree, water, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth. -
Incorporate Butter:
Pour in the melted butter and stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter, adding a rich and buttery flavor to the cakes. -
Preheat Griddle or Pan:
Preheat a stove-top griddle or heavy frypan over medium heat until it’s very hot. Grease the surface with butter to prevent sticking. -
Cook the Griddle Cakes:
Using a heaping tablespoon, drop batter onto the hot griddle or pan, leaving some space between each cake. Cook until the edges start to set and bubbles form on the surface, then flip them over using a spatula. -
Finish Cooking:
Continue cooking the cakes until they are lightly browned on both sides and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. -
Serve Warm:
Once cooked, transfer the Pumpkin Griddle Cakes to a serving plate. Serve them warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness, if desired.
