Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, molasses, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter slightly if necessary.
Cook the pancakes 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 until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the gingerbread pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a dusting of cinnamon.
