Categories     dessert

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 ripe peaches, seeded and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, ginger, salt and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Stir with a fork until the dry ingredients are well mixed. Add the melted butter, sugar, buttermilk and egg all at once and stir only until the batter is completely moistened but still lumpy.
  • Heat a greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Using a serving spoon, drop about 1 1/2 tablespoons batter onto the griddle. (The batter is thick, so you may have to spread it a little with the back of the spoon after dropping onto griddle). Cook over medium heat, and turn the pancakes as soon as they hold together when you slide a spatula under them.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve and top with a spoonful of Peach Topping.
  • Put the sliced peaches in a saucepan and add the sugar, water and cardamom. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, or until the fruit is soft and syrup is thick. Taste and add more sugar if the fruit is too tart. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Place a spoonful of peaches onto Ginger Pancakes.

Time 55m

Yield 18 to 20 pancakes

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups milk

1 tablespoon orange zest
1 large egg
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Red and green sprinkles, for garnish, optional
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cloves. In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, orange zest and egg. Slowly add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. It is ok if the batter is a little lumpy. Do not overmix or you will have tough pancakes. (Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes for fluffier pancakes.)

Serve the pancakes immediately with the icing and garnish with sprinkles and whipped cream if desired.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large Golden Delicious apples (about 1 pound), peeled and sliced
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for cooking the pancakes

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the mixture bubbles. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla; transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the flour, granulated sugar, ginger, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Combine 1/4 cup water, the egg, molasses, and 3 tablespoons oil in a glass measuring cup; add to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture is just combined but not smooth. Add additional water if necessary to reach the consistency of pancake batter.
  • 3. Brush a nonstick skillet with a little oil; heat over medium-low heat. Add the gingerbread mixture to the skillet a generous tablespoonful at a time and spread to make a 2 1/2-inch round; cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until all the batter has been used. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven until all have been cooked.
  • 4. To serve, divide the pancakes among dessert plates and top each serving with some of the apples.

Tips:

  • Use fresh gingerbread crumbs for the best flavor. You can make your own by pulsing gingerbread cookies in a food processor or blender.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking them over too high heat can cause them to burn.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. They're delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These gingerbread pancakes are a delicious and festive breakfast treat. They're perfect for a holiday brunch or a special occasion. With their warm spices and sweet fruit topping, they're sure to put a smile on your face. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy pancake recipe, give these gingerbread pancakes a try!
