Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup molasses

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and molasses.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use dark molasses for the deepest gingerbread flavor.
  • You can substitute buttermilk for milk and reduce the baking powder by 1/2 teaspoon for extra tang.
  • Keep finished pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a low oven (200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
