Grandma's Gingerbread Pancakes

My dear Grammie was making gingerbread one morning and my brother and I arrived, starving! She altered the recipe slightly, put it on the grill and the result is this delicious recipe. The smell of it cooking always takes me back to that morning--mmmm!

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup molasses
• ½ teaspoon ground dried ginger

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 2

Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl with the vanilla and molasses until smooth. Whisk in the water until completely incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined -- a few lumps are okay.
