Gingerbread Pancakes Fluffy Spiced (Print Version)

Fluffy pancakes infused with warm gingerbread spices, ideal for festive mornings or winter brunches.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 3/4 cup milk
09 - 2 tablespoons molasses
10 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
11 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
12 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Cooking Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until evenly mixed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; some lumps are acceptable to avoid overmixing.
04 - Warm a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter.
05 - Pour approximately 1/3 cup batter per pancake into the pan. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set. Flip and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
06 - Continue cooking remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
07 - Stack pancakes and serve warm topped with butter and maple syrup.
