QUICK & EASY GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Yield 4 5 inch cakes.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup Krusteaz pancake mix
2 Tblspns Brown sugar
1/2 tsp cardamon (or cloves)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1-3 tsp grated fresh ginger.
1/3 to 1/2 can ginger ale.
Syrup suggestion:
Molasses, maple, and gingerale...

Steps:

  • Combine the Krusteaz with the spices and sugar- you can really just wing it on quantities... it's not much different than making box-mix pancakes- mix together thoroughly. Open the can of ginger ale, add in splashes, then mix, until you have about cake batter consistency. (This will both fluff up and thicken- you can add more liquid if it becomes hard to work with.) Heat cast iron skillet or griddle to about medium. A spritz of cooking spray between each batch helps to keep the pan from drying out and the cakes sticking...) Pour or ladle about a half a cup of the batter onto the heated skillet, and allow to cook until edges are slightly dry. (It may be too thick for the traditional pancake bubble-test...) flip cake with a spatula, and allow to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, then flip out onto a waiting plate or platter. For the syrup, I simply blended one part molasses, one part regular butter syrup, and a tiny splash of the remaining ginger ale- the molasses's rich smokey flavor is what really makes these reminiscent of strong, sweet gingerbread!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for these pancakes. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: These pancakes are delicious served with butter and syrup, but you can also top them with fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.

Conclusion:

These gingerbread pancakes are a delicious and festive way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these pancakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new pancake recipe, give these gingerbread pancakes a try.
