Our Favorite Gingerbread Pancake Recipe

Gingerbread Pancake Recipe

Gingerbread pancakes with lemon sauce from the Palmer House Inn, located in Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA.

This Gingerbread pancake recipe is one of our favorites at the Inn. It’s easy to prepare and an excellent choice if you are serving a large group at home.

Serves 4 to 6.

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 Tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 Tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 Tsp salt
  • 1 Tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • 3 Eggs, separated
  • 1/2 Cup molasses
  • 1 1/2 Cups non-fat buttermilk
  • 8 Tbs (1 stick) melted butter

Directions

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, molasses, buttermilk and butter. Pour into dry ingredients; stir until just combined. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into batter. Use 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.

Drop onto hot griddle until light brown on each side. Serve with lemon sauce (Lemon Sauce Recipe).

Gingerbread Pancake Recipe Notes:

Prepare the lemon sauce a day or two ahead of time to give yourself extra time in the morning. Keep the sauce refrigerated until you are ready to use it. Then warm the sauce in a pan and serve with the pancakes hot.
