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.

    Very easy and a real family hit for Christmas morning. Have made this 3 years in a row for family. The kids start requesting around Thanksgiving! We put syrup over them or a warm fruit compote. Is a mild ginger flavor and a fun change.

    I followed the reduced cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger amount suggestion of the teaspoon and they had NO gingerbread taste.

    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.
