Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 7

To make the lemon sauce, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, water, cornstarch, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan until smooth.

Step 8

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.

Step 10

Serve the warm ginger pancakes with a generous drizzle of the lemon sauce. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest or powdered sugar for presentation.
