Make a festive stack of fluffy pancakes flavored with molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a cozy holiday morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, molasses, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of finely chopped crystallized ginger to the batter.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, this recipe is a great addition to your holiday meal planning schedule.
  • These pancakes freeze well; cool completely, then place between parchment paper sheets in a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
