Gingerbread Pancakes
Traditional gingerbread spices—cinnamon, ginger and cloves—flavor these tender cakelike pancakes. Molasses gives them an appealing light brown color. Don’t worry if they appear a bit thicker than the typical pancake. They are still light and tender. Serve the pancakes with orange blossom maple syrup or regular maple syrup.
