In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, molasses, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a 200Β°F oven if needed.
To make the blueberry syrup, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the syrup thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve the gingerbread pancakes warm, topped with the fresh blueberry syrup. Optional: garnish with whipped cream or dust with powdered sugar for extra flair.
