Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0 Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, salt, and brown sugar.

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg. Add the molasses, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Space them apart to prevent spreading into one another.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
