Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk or non-dairy alternative
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup for serving
  • optional whipped cream for serving
  • optional chopped nuts for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Batter
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, molasses, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Cook the Pancakes
  1. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Serve
  1. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with whipped cream and nuts if desired.
