Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour 
  • 2 tsp baking powder 
  • 1 tsp baking soda 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups whole milk 
  • 4 tbsp melted butter 
  • 1 and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg 
  • 1/4 tsp all spice 
  • 1/3 cup molasses 
  • 4 tbsp dark brown sugar 
  • extra butter and pure maple syrup for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, dark brown sugar spices, salt). Set aside.

  2. Melt butter in a small bowl and then let it cool. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and molasses into the bowl with the melted butter and whisk until fully combined. It will look a little weird/curdled but fret not!

  3. Add the wet ingredients to the larger bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until combined with a wooden spoon. It’s going to look a little lumpy but that's okay.

  4. Grab your favorite non-stick skillet and if desired, add some butter to it. Let it melt and warm up on medium heat.

  5. Using a measuring cup, add about 1/4 cup worth of batter per pancake into the warmed skillet. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles begin to form on the pancake.

  6. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Keep the cooked pancakes warm as you continue cooking the batter until the batter is gone. 

  7. Top with additional cinnamon, butter and maple syrup. Eat while hot! Enjoy!
