Autumn in a skillet — that's the best way to describe this dramatic, puffed oven pancake that billows up at the edges and fills your kitchen with the warm scent of pumpkin, Ceylon cinnamon, and fresh ginger. The batter comes together in minutes with pantry staples and real pumpkin purée, then a screaming-hot cast iron skillet does all the heavy lifting to create those gorgeous, golden, crispy edges. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of fungi-derived additives, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything on the list. The touch of pure maple syrup baked right into the batter — and drizzled on top at the end — gives it a caramel-like sweetness that plays beautifully against the bright, slightly spicy ginger. It's technically a pancake, but it eats like a showstopper brunch centerpiece. Serve it straight from the skillet in wedges while it's still warm and the edges are at their crispiest — no one will be waiting long.

Place a 10-inch or 12-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred) on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Allow the skillet to heat for the full preheat time, at least 15 minutes.
In a blender (or in a large bowl using a whisk), combine the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, 2 tbsp maple syrup, grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and salt. Blend or whisk until completely smooth, about 30 seconds in a blender or 1 minute by hand. Add the flour and blend or whisk just until no dry streaks remain and the batter is smooth and pourable — it will be thinner than standard pancake batter.
