Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. This is your dry base for irresistible gingerbread pancakes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, buttermilk, molasses, and eggs. This liquid mixture will bring your cozy gingerbread pancakes to life.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay for fluffy gingerbread pancakes.
- Gently fold in the melted butter.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. For best results with your cozy gingerbread pancakes, ensure the griddle is hot.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each irresistible gingerbread pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Watch for bubbles forming on the surface before flipping your warm gingerbread pancakes.
- Serve your warm gingerbread pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of black pepper to the dry ingredients.
- Buttermilk makes the pancakes extra tender. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 1/4 cups of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Ensure your butter is melted but not hot when adding it to the batter.
- Experiment with gingerbread pancake topping ideas like whipped cream, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
