How to Make Fluffy Gingerbread Pancakes

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice until thoroughly combined.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until smooth.

3. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; it’s fine if there are some small lumps; avoid overmixing.

4. Prepare the Cooking Surface

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a touch of olive oil to lightly coat the surface.

5. Cook the Pancakes

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they turn a lovely golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

6. Serve

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, sliced fruit, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of gingerbread-shaped sprinkles for a festive touch!

These Maple Spice Pancakes are a wonderful treat for a holiday breakfast or brunch, enhanced by the jolly gingerbread sprinkles.
