Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla, milk, and molasses until homogenous.
  • Add the baking powder, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and granulated sugar. Whisk until just combined. Make sure there are no pockets of dry four in the pancake batter.
  • Heat a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add little bit of butter or nonstick cooking spray to the pan and then add about ¼ cup of pancake batter. Cook your pancake for about 1 ½ minutes per side, or until cooked all the way through.
  • Repeat with the remaining pancake batter and serve.

Notes

  • You’ll know it is time to flip your pancake when the top of the pancake is filled with bubbles that have popped.
  • You can replace the salted butter with unsalted butter and ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Whipped cream and/ or maple syrup go great with this pancakes! The lighter sweetness pairs great with the rich sweetness of the molasses and warm spice of the cloves.
  • Spray your measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray before measuring the molasses – it will slide right out without sticking and save you from a sticky cleanup.
