Ingredients
1½ Cups (190g) flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
¾ cup (190ml) milk
½ stick (¼ cup / 65g) melted butter + more for cooking
2 Tbsp molasses
2 Tbsp brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, molasses, eggs, milk, and vanilla essence.
Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Fold the mixture together with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
Heat a heavy-based pan (preferably cast iron) over medium-low heat. When hot, add a small amount of butter.
Pour ⅓ cup of pancake batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding butter as needed.
Stack the pancakes high and serve with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
These pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster or on a skillet for best results.
For extra festive flavor, add chopped crystallized ginger to the batter.
If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the milk by a tablespoon.
