Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and molasses until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. 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.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra richness, consider these pancakes part of your weekly meal planning, perhaps alongside a lighter dinner option.
  • If you prefer a thinner batter, add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of milk.
  • These pair well with a simple vanilla glaze or maple syrup.
