Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- Oil or shortening for cooking
Instructions:
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: Start by sifting together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and allspice in a large mixing bowl. This step ensures that your dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and molasses together until they are thoroughly combined. This mixture will give your pancakes a rich flavor and moist texture.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, being careful not to overmix. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy – that’s what gives these pancakes their fluffy texture.
-
Preheat Skillet or Griddle: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly oil it or coat it with a small amount of shortening. Preheating ensures that your pancakes cook evenly and develop a golden-brown exterior.
-
Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet or griddle for each pancake, making sure not to overcrowd the cooking surface. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to brown, then carefully flip them over and cook the other side until it’s lightly browned.
-
Keep Warm: As you cook the pancakes, transfer them to a platter and keep them warm until all of them are cooked. You can do this by covering the platter with a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the gingerbread pancakes warm, accompanied by chunky applesauce or apple pie filling and a dollop of whipped cream if desired. These pancakes also pair well with poached pears for an extra-special treat.
Whether you’re looking to add a festive touch to your breakfast table during the holidays or simply craving a cozy morning treat, these gingerbread pancakes are sure to delight your taste buds and bring warmth to your soul.
