Put the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, spice, and salt into a medium bowl and mix thoroughly.

Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat with a whisk or mixer until yolk and white are mixed. Add the milk, pumpkin, and oil to this and beat again until ingredients are well mixed.

Prepare a griddle for cooking with oil, allowing it to get hot enough for the pancakes. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; if the water dances across the surface, the griddle is hot enough.

Pour about ? cup for each pancake onto the griddle and use a spatula to spread it into a circle. Cook over medium heat until pancakes have a slightly bubbly appearance to them; this will take about two minutes. Then turn the pancakes with a spatula and continue to cook for about another two minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Repeat this until all the batter is used.
