Gingerbread Pancakes
Patricia @ ButterYum
Pancakes are awesome any time of year, but these gingerbread pancakes are particularly good served during cold weather months. The batter is a snap to make and leftover pancakes can be frozen for a quick treat another day. Simply pop them in the toaster to reheat.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and cinnamon.
Add the brown sugar and mix it in well, being sure to break up any clumps.
Combine the milk, egg, and pure vanilla extract.
Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and combine - it’s okay if a few small lumps remain. Cook as you would any other pancake mix and enjoy!
