Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ Cups | 190g Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Ground Cloves
  • Pinch of Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk the melted butter, molasses, eggs, milk, and vanilla essence until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Make Batter: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the batter together until no dry flour remains and the batter is smooth but slightly thick.
  4. Preheat Pan: Heat a heavy-based pan or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the pan before cooking each batch of pancakes.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes high on a plate. Top with butter and drizzle with maple syrup to enhance the rich gingerbread flavors. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, avoid over-mixing the batter to keep air trapped inside.
  • If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, increase the ground ginger or cinnamon slightly.
  • Melt the butter gently to avoid burning or browning before mixing it into the wet ingredients.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
  • These pancakes can also be frozen; reheat gently for a quick breakfast option.
