Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, molasses, brown sugar, milk, and melted butter until smooth and uniform.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still have some small lumps.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5

While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the cranberry maple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, maple syrup, water, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the cranberry maple syrup. Enjoy!
