Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients	Measures
Winter squash sampler, mashed and cooked	2 cups
Brown sugar	2 tablespoons
Fat free milk	1 cup
Egg substitute	½ cup
Unbleached white flour	½ cup
Baking powder	1 teaspoon
Salt	½ teaspoon
Pinch fresh grated nutmeg	1/8 teaspoon
Chopped chives	2 tablespoons
Cooking spray	3 sprays

Directions
Beat the squash with the brown sugar, milk and egg substitute until smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients into the squash mixture just until combined. Fold in the chives.
Heat a griddle or heavy skillet lightly sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat.
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Drop the batter onto the hot skillet by heaping tablespoonfuls. Lightly oil a spatula and flatten the pancakes. When they are golden brown on the bottom, flip them.
As they brown on the other side, transfer them to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter.
