Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons Molasses
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter slightly if necessary.

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 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the gingerbread pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a dusting of cinnamon.
