Gingerbread Pancakes

This is one of those times when I’m going to admit that I have no story for this recipe. With these gingerbread pancakes, it’s really just as simple as the fact that I love gingerbread. And pancakes. So, gingerbread pancakes are a must-make in the Fall.

These pancakes are light and fluffy with just the right amount of spice and molasses flavor. They’re good with some butter and maple syrup on top, but they’re even better when they’re covered with sauteed apples.

• Repeat with the remaining batter to make about 8 pancakes, each about 4 inches in diameter.
