  • Start by making the pumpkin purée. Weigh out the pumpkin you need — just the flesh, no skin or seeds. Cut it into medium cubes: too large and they take forever to roast, too small and they dry out. Spread the pumpkin on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 350-400°F (180-200°C). Cook until soft, checking now and then. I won't give an exact time since it varies from oven to oven — just keep an eye on it.
  • Once the pumpkin is soft, take it out, transfer it to a bowl, and blend it into a smooth purée.
  • Separately, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with half a cup of the milk. Add the flour (sifted through a fine sieve and mixed with the baking powder and a pinch of salt), stir, and drizzle in the vegetable oil. Then pour in the rest of the milk and stir again.
  • Add the pumpkin purée to the batter and mix thoroughly until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar to stiff peaks. Chilling the whites first helps them whip up better.
  • Working quickly but gently, fold the beaten whites into the batter with a bottom-to-top motion.
  • Don't let the batter sit — start cooking the pancakes right away. You should already have a dry nonstick skillet heated up. Cook them with no oil: scoop the batter with a spoon or ladle and pour it onto the skillet in rounds. As soon as bubbles form, flip and cook the other side.
  • Keep cooking until you've used up all the batter. You'll end up with wonderfully tender, fluffy, delicious, and fragrant pumpkin pancakes. Serve them with honey, sour cream, condensed milk, maple syrup, or any syrup you like.
  • Always wash your eggs before using them — even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
