Hi Ellen - I'm volunteering to cook breakfast at a Ronald McDonald house in a day and a half. The pancake recipe I want to use makes 8-10 pancakes. I'd like to make 150 pancakes. I know the spices and the baking powder will be overwhelming if I just times it all by 15 (or 16 which is easier). Here is the recipe: whisk 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon each cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg a pinch of ground cloves. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup milk 6 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 egg fold mixture into dry ingredients. Can you help quickly please? Thanks! |

However much you expand, you want about 1/2 teaspoon spice per 1/2 cup of flour. Other than that, two suggestions; they will be lighter if you separate the eggs and whip the whites up before folding them in; and many recipes with this balance of flour etc, use 2 eggs. That recipe is about 4 people's worth, so you may need as little as 12 times the recipe. Multiply the baking powder, then use about 3/4 the amount. |

By the way, a little grated orange peel would be lovely in this. |
