Healthier than their traditional counterparts, these gingerbread spelt pancakes still feel like a treat worthy for a holiday brunch or a cozy breakfast at home for two.
Ingredients
  • ½ c spelt flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ground cloves
  • ¼ c sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1Tbs molasses
  • 2 Tbs butter, melted
  • ¼ c plus 2 Tbs milk
  • Optional garnishes - maple syrup, butter, candied ginger
Instructions
  1. Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Combine all wet ingredients in a medium bowl.
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry bowl and stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined, a few lumps are ok.
  4. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium high.
  5. Add a little pat of butter to pan and melt if needed.
  6. Ass ⅓-1/4 cup of batter at a time spread out throughout the pan, giving pancakes room to spread and cook.
  7. Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until pancake looks cooked through about half way up the side.
  8. Flip pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for about 1-2 minutes longer on the other side.
  9. Remove pancakes and place on a serving dish in the oven to keep warm or serve immediately with butter and syrup. Repeat with remaining batter.
