Ingredients

3 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup brewed coffee
2 1/2 cups white unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, mix eggs and brown sugar until well combined. Add buttermilk, water and brewed coffee, and stir to combine. In another large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Stir in the melted butter.

Grease a griddle or heavy skillet. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and then add the batter, by ladle-fulls. Cook until little bubbles appear around the edges of the pancake, and then flip. Cook on the second side until golden brown and cooked through in the middle. Serve immediately.

Chewy, not Fluffy
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I have been to the Magnolia several times and get their Gingerbread Pancakes every time. They are huge, soft, fluffy and... very flavorful. This recipe has a good flavor (though 1 Tbsp nutmeg is too much!), but these are flat, heavy and chewy. I suspect the melted butter is the culprit (I have excellent buttermilk pancake recipes that make soft and fluffy pancakes and none use butter). The Magnolia pancakes are a wonderful cross between gingerbread cookies (the flavor) and buttermilk pancakes (soft fluffy texture). I suspect much better results could be obtained from starting with a good buttermilk pancake and adding gingerbread spices. Read more

Pancake Islands and Oceans of Infinite Syrup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe a few times sure but each time I doubled up on the sugar and replaced the pumpkin spice with Colombian... Devil's Breathe. It wasn't something I wanted to do at first but Reverof my regal tablespoon asked me too. With those changes to the recipe I'd have to say that this pancake was delicious and highly remarkable. However, after making this pancake I realized it suffered from serious wanderlust and didn't deserve to be trapped in my bowels for eternity; alas, nothing escapes from the foul ignoble beast I have for a stomach. After teaching this fair pancake the anatomy of bologna I let him borrow my Model T so he could paint the isle red and get lost in himself. Well, get lost he did for he (or my car....) was never seen again.Read more

Actually tasted like Gingerbread!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved these pancakes! After reading other reviews I decided to add 1/4 cup of molasses to wet ingredients as well as 2 tsp... fresh grated ginger. I did not eliminate any of the other wet ingredients (buttermilk, coffee, water). The molasses probably made the batter a little thinner which I think was a good thing. I think adding the fresh ginger to the wet ingredients really kicked the "ginger"bread flavor up a notch. I lowered dry ginger from 1 tbl to 2 tsp. Did not change anything else. These were delicious and tasted exactly like gingerbread. I've made pumpkin pancakes and found that they don't really have a strong pumpkin taste to them. If you want to make something special for breakfast around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday's, try these. They will be a big hit! Everyone will be asking you for the recipe!Read more

Ingredients Typo?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After reading the previous review, I made these both ways, as the recipe is given, and the correction that the previous... reviewer gave. I found that the original recipe had much more gingerbread flavor than the correction given. This may have just been me, but that's what my experience was. Also, I made this with molasses and brewed coffee, and both ways were delicious! Wonderful recipe!Read more

TYPO ERROR!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

To all who may use this recipe.......There is a mistake in the recipe's measurements. It calls for a tablespoon of:... cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This is incorrect and should read: 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ginger 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg I would also add either a 1/4 cup more water or buttermilk as they are a little too thick! These are fantastic pancakes....I have had the real deal and these are definitly as good as the restraunts!Read more

I had gingerbread pancakes at a great little place in Portsmouth, NH and was intent on recreating the recipe. This did the... trick - although different still DELICIOUS!Read more
