Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Butter or oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy to avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed.

Step 6

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 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
