How to make this Gingerbread pancake recipe
Ingredients needed.
- Baking powder & baking soda. To get the best pancake texture, you’ll need both raising agents.
- Warm spices. A base of ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves makes up this comforting pancake recipe. If necessary, you can add a twist by substituting three times as much grated fresh ginger for the dried ground ginger.
- Whole milk. You can use any kind of plant-based or dairy milk you like, but I personally like the richer mouthfeel that full-fat dairy provides.
- Eggs. Make use of large eggs and let them come to room temperature if you have the time. If not, place them in a bowl of warm water and let them soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Unsulphured molasses. You should have no trouble finding molasses at the supermarket because the majority of it is unsulphured. Just steer clear of using blackstrap molasses as it affects the pancakes’ frying time due to its higher acidity.
- Unsalted butter + salt. Although starting with unsalted butter will give you more control over the finished product, salted butter adds richness to the batter. Leave out the extra salt if you’re using salted butter.

FAQs
Differences Between Gingerbread pancakes and Dutch pancakes?
Gingerbread Pancake:
- Fluffy, spiced pancakes made with flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, milk, eggs, molasses, and butter. Perfect for breakfast or holidays with a rich, warm flavor.
Dutch Pancake (Pannenkoeken):
- Thin, crepe-like pancakes made with flour, milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt. They are versatile, often topped with sweet or savory ingredients, and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
What should I serve with them?
In our house, we really enjoy serving our simple gingerbread pancakes with a sweet cascade of pure maple syrup and a generous swirl of whipped cream on top. We frequently choose sliced bananas, a berry medley, or these warmly spiced skillet-fried apples for a light and healthy twist.
Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, of course! After cooking, I recommend letting them cool on a wire rack. After they reach room temperature, stack them and divide the layers with pieces of parchment paper before putting them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They can be stored for up to 6 weeks in the freezer or for 5–7 days in the refrigerator. To serve, just reheat in a toaster oven until thoroughly heated.
Can I make them gluten-free?
Use the alternative instructions on the package to replace your favorite gluten-free cup-for-cup all-purpose flour, then mix the flour into the pancake batter according to the recipe’s directions. To avoid a gritty consistency, allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to rehydrate.
