GINGERBREAD PANCAKES RECIPE

Gingerbread Pancakes
Homey Breakfast Recipe From Magnolia Cafe, Austin.
3 eggs

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup brewed coffee

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon ginger

1 tablespoon nutmeg

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Cream eggs and sugar together. Stir in buttermilk, water, and coffee and set aside. In a separate bowl sift together remaining dry ingredients. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients (do not over-beat), then mix in melted butter. Add more water or buttermilk if necessary, but batter should be thick. Cook until done on a lightly greased hot griddle or in a heavy skillet (turn once when bubbles appear on upper side and start to break). Pancakes will be thick and cake-like in texture.

Makes 8 to 10 five-inch pancakes.
