If you are looking for a breakfast pumpkin fix during the fall season, you don’t just need to turn to pumpkin spice lattes. These flakey, golden brown pancakes from Brown Hound Downtown Bistro in Rochester may be just what you need! To give this recipe a more local spin, get the pumpkin fresh from a local farmer such as Cayuga Sunrise Farm in Trumansburg or some of these other local pumpkin-picking options. You can also get the syrup from a local producer such as Wohlschlegel’s Maple Farm in Naples, N.Y.
