Cooking the Homemade Gingerbread pancakes
The batter is fairly thick, so watch for the air bubbles popping on the surface.
Check the bottoms of each pancake because you’re looking for a gorgeous golden brown then flip, and repeat.
TIP:
When measuring the molasses, spray the measuring spoon with cooking spray. This will ensure that the molasses comes right out of the spoon. Also, this is also a handy trick for peanut butter and honey.
You can store the cooked pancakes in the oven on Warm, while the rest are cooking.
Serve with butter, maple syrup, and freshly whipped cream, if desired. SImilarly, Garnish with orange slices.
