Fluffy Gingerbread Pancakes

Fluffy gingerbread pancakes are the perfect festive treat for the holidays. The pancakes are warm and fluffy, perfectly spiced with ginger and molasses, topped with a generous drizzle of syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Info and tips for fluffy gingerbread pancakes

My tips for pancakes is to never overmix the batter. You want your pancakes to be fluffy, and overmixing can cause the pancakes to become rubbery and tough because it develops too much gluten. Adding baking soda and powder will also help create fluffy pancakes. This is because of a chemical reaction that causes carbon dioxide bubbles to form in the batter.

Because of the molasses, the pancakes have more sugar content than regular pancakes. I have found that these pancakes can burn much faster than normal. Keep your heat low and have a watchful eye as you cook them, flip as soon as the underside is cooked.

Equipment

I used my Our Place Pan to fry the pancakes. So far I have been enjoying it, nothing sticks!
