Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
- 1/4 cup molasses
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and molasses until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a richer molasses flavor, use blackstrap molasses.
- If you prefer a less intense spice level, reduce the cloves and nutmeg by half.
- You can prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time and store them in an airtight container.
- These pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper between layers before freezing. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
