Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1.33 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
For Topping
  • maple syrup
  • Whipped Gingerbread Butter (optional)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter, and molasses. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until incorporated. (If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a little more buttermilk.)
  3. Spray a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat (about 300°F).
  4. When hot, pour ⅓ cup of batter into the skillet. Spread the batter out more, if necessary, to about a 4-inch diameter.
  5. Working in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, or until the bubbles begin popping on top and they are golden brown.
  6. Gently, but quickly, flip over the pancakes. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
  7. Before the next batch, wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
  8. Serve warm, topped with maple syrup (or your favorite toppings).
