Wrap the pumpkin in foil and bake in a hot oven (250°F) for an hour, or until tender
Let it cool
Remove the pulp and mash it into 1 1/2 cups of puree
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, yeast, and salt
Set aside
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, ginger, pumpkin, egg yolks, and melted butter
Add the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
Fold them into the pumpkin mixture gently
Heat a non-stick skillet greased with oil over medium heat
Pour in 1/3 cup of the batter and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and it's golden brown
Repeat with the remaining batter
Serve warm with dollops of creamy sauce and rose petal jelly, garnished with fennel leaves.
