Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Spiced Maple Syrup:
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the pancakes are cooking, gently warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Serve the gingerbread pancakes warm, drizzled with the spiced maple syrup.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- You can add a tablespoon of molasses to the batter for a deeper gingerbread flavor.
- Adjust the spices in the syrup to your preference.
