Time 25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground dried ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup molasses
1 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl with the vanilla and molasses until smooth. Whisk in the water until completely incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined -- a few lumps are okay.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

"I always knew my grandmother's buttermilk pancakes were special," says Christopher Hirsheimer. "I loved them, and I loved to help her in the kitchen. My first job was to separate the eggs for her. Then I'd whip up the whites into thick, billowy mounds. Finally, she would start heating the griddle and would test it by flicking water on it, and when little beads danced across the hot metal, it was time to begin. Standing at her post at the stove, she flipped batch after batch until our big hungry family was fed."

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggs, separated
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more butter for serving
1 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a cast-iron pan or griddle with vegetable oil, wiping off excess with a paper towel. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the buttermilk, then whisk in the butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then sift these dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Lightly whisk together until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps won't hurt). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Don't overwork the batter; keep it light and fluffy.
  • Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until hot. (To test, flick a bit of water onto the pan; it'll bead up and dance if it's hot enough.) Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until little holes appear on the surface and the cooked side of the pancake is golden brown (lift the edge to check), about 1 minute on each side. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out well-that's normal. Continue making pancakes, regreasing the pan as needed. Stack pancakes on a plate, slather generously with butter, and pour on a few good glugs of real maple syrup. Makes 4 batches of 3 pancakes (4" in diameter).

Tips:

  • For fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat to prevent sticking.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
  • To make ahead, cook the pancakes according to the recipe and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the pancakes to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the pancakes overnight in the refrigerator or microwave them on low power for 30 seconds at a time until heated through.

Conclusion:

Grandma's gingerbread pancakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their warm spices and molasses flavor, these pancakes are sure to put a smile on your face. Whether you serve them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these pancakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special recipe, give Grandma's gingerbread pancakes a try!
