How to Serve Gingerbread Pancakes

Tips to Make Gingerbread Pancakes

• For fluffier pancakes, don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are small lumps.
• If you want to make a larger batch, simply double or triple the ingredient quantities.
• Adjust the spices to your liking; add more ginger or cinnamon if desired.

Variation

You can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor. For a holiday twist, fold in some cranberries or raisins before cooking.

FAQs
