Description

Fluffy and warmly spiced, these gingerbread pancakes are perfect for a cozy holiday breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  2. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, milk, molasses, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
