Gingerbread Man Pancakes Recipes

GINGERBREAD BOY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir all pancake ingredients with wire whisk until well blended. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary or spray with cooking spray before heating.
• For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and edges are dry. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
• Using 3 1/2 to 4-inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutter, cut one shape from each warm pancake. Decorate as desired using icing and candies.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES WITH ICING

Steps:

• For the pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cloves. In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, orange zest and egg. Slowly add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. It is ok if the batter is a little lumpy. Do not overmix or you will have tough pancakes. (Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes for fluffier pancakes.)
• For the icing: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk. Set aside.
• Grease a griddle or nonstick skillet with butter and heat to medium high. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. When small bubbles begin to form on the tops of the pancakes, after 2 to 3 minutes, flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pancakes immediately with the icing and garnish with sprinkles and whipped cream if desired.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Combine buttermilk, egg, molasses and oil; add to dry ingredients and mix well. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubble form on top of pancake. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup and whipped cream if desired.

GLENDA'S GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl.
• Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix in milk, molasses, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk flour mixture into milk mixture until batter is combined; a few lumps are okay.
• Grease a griddle lightly with oil; preheat over medium-low heat.
• Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

WHOLE WHEAT GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you're using an electric griddle, go ahead and preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, egg, molasses, maple syrup, butter and vanilla extract (if you're using coconut oil and it solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, just warm the mixture in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds, until it melts again, or let the mixture rest for a few minutes in a warm place). Whisk until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until the mixture is incorporated and no big lumps of flour remain.
• If you're not using an electric griddle, heat a stovetop griddle, cast-iron pan or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. It's hot enough when a drop of water sizzles against the pan. If necessary, grease the pan with a pat of butter or non-stick cooking spray (my griddle is non-stick so I didn't use any).
• Give the bowl one more stir and pour 1/3 cup batter into the pan (if at any point the batter becomes too thick, just stir in a tiny splash of milk). Wait until the outer 1/2″ of the pancake is no longer shiny, then flip it with a spatula. Cook on the opposite sides for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve the cooked pancake immediately or keep warm in an oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Repeat with remaining pancakes, adjusting heat as necessary to achieve pancakes that are cooked through and golden brown on both sides.

GRANDMA'S GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl with the vanilla and molasses until smooth. Whisk in the water until completely incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined -- a few lumps are okay.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
