In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, butter and pumpkin puree.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and Toasted Pepita Pumpkin Spice.
Pour egg mixture into flour mixture, and stir until just combined.
Lightly grease a skillet with butter or vegetable oil, and heat to medium.
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter at a time to the heated pan, using the back of a spoon to spread batter out into 5-inch rounds.
Cook about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until bubbles appear and edges are set.
Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat and adding additional butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
