Its that time of year again......MY favorite time, actually!  With the gardens, fields, and markets full of that wonderful winter squash - here is a very easy recipe that (you) and your birds may enjoy! 
LadyByrdbell
 
**EASY TIPS!
*Steam pumpkin ahead of time and place in freezer containers for later use.
*These store in freezer easily for future use!  I layer cooled pancakes with wax paper between them and slide the stack into a gallon freezer bag! 
 
Some of the benefits of pumpkin:
*Rich source of beta carotene
*Good Low-calorie source of vitamin C and potassium
*High in fiber
*The sees are a good source of protein, iron, B vitamins, vitamin E, and fiber.
*Can be stored for a long period of time!
 

Makes 12 - 16 pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Fresh Pumpkin (remove skin, cube, steam till soft, then mash)
1 cup Skim Milk
2 Eggs
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Nutmeg
1 Tsp. Cloves
2 T. Vegetable Oil
Directions:
Combine all dry ingredients and spices in mixing bowl.
In a second bowl, whisk together pumpkin, eggs, milk, and oil.
Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

Too, I've often used canned pumpkin instead of fresh cooked, and it makes no difference at all.

I got a little sugar pumpkin but it is so stringy I probably won't use it. I prefer canned anyway.
That recipe sounds wonderful.

Annie, those little guys make a yummy and good-for-you snack!  I cut off the tops, clean out the seeds, and steam the entire pumpkin.  Once it has that soft-in-the-middle feel, remove from pot and cool completely on a plate in fridge.  We then slice in large chunks and serve!  I use those stainless kabob holders to attach the chunks in the cages or just plop a chunk in a food bowl.
 
Speaking of stringy......try serving chunks of spagetti squash!  Makes for some good laughs watching the birds eat it!
Crystal
