Deliciously Spiced Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe
These Gingerbread Pancakes are fluffy and packed with the warm flavors of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses. They are sweet but not overly so, creating a perfectly balanced taste that pairs wonderfully with maple syrup or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- Maple syrup for serving
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and molasses until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup and whipped cream if desired.
