Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, salt, and brown sugar.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg. Add the molasses, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Space them apart to prevent spreading into one another.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
