Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe

One week ago today, most families across America were gathering with friends and family to enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving meal. And whether you're ready or not, Christmas will be here in three weeks! It is amazing how quickly the holidays can sneak up on a person. During the busyness of the season, I love to create memories in our kitchen. Whipping up hot chocolate, baking and decorating cookies, preparing memorable homemade weekend breakfasts, and hosting evening holiday parties with great food is what I look forward to the most during the holidays.

Today I have a wonderful homemade gingerbread pancake recipe for you that I absolutely love. These fluffy pancakes are made with sour cream and the perfect blend of spices to put you in the holiday mood. The batter is made with a touch of molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. What I appreciate the most about these pancakes is their subtle gingerbread flavor, which is not overpowering yet noticeably present. I find kids generally do not like strong ginger-flavored foods (with perhaps the exception of cookies) yet they love these pancakes. Whether you are hosting family over the Winter break or just want to treat your family to a holiday-themed breakfast (or brunch), these memorable pancakes are sure to delight those who will enjoy them.
