Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • cups whole milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • Syrup for topping

Instructions

  • Start by placing your flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger into a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir or whisk all of the dry ingredients together, then add in your egg, melted butter, vanilla, molasses, and milk.
  • Using a hand mixer, mix the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until well combined. Heat up a skillet on medium heat.
  • Now here is the trick to mess free, perfect pancakes! Pour your batter into a piping bag.
  • Cut off the tip, grease your skillet with butter or cooking spray, and pipe batter into a perfect circle in the center of your skillet. Start in the center and work your way out with the batter.
  • Cook your pancake until the edges are cooked through and bubbles begin to pop on the surface.
  • Flip quickly and cook the opposite side until golden brown. Stack on a serving dish.
  • Top with butter and maple syrup and enjoy!

Notes

  • Coconut oil makes a great substitute for butter, adding a light flavor and moisture while keeping it dairy-free.
  • Incorporate orange zest for an extra layer of citrus flavor that complements the ginger beautifully.
  • A dash of nutmeg brings a warm, festive flavor that enhances the overall spice blend.
  • Boost protein and fiber by stirring in a scoop of protein powder or ground oats for a heartier pancake.
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the freezer; just pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast later!
