I read through the reviews very carefully before making this which I think was my first mistake. I usually don't do that and fly by the seat of my shorts. I doubled the recipe so I could freeze some for busy mornings added more baking powder for a fluffier pancake doubled the spices and added nutmeg and allspice and I cut the water down to two cups as a lot of people mentioned that the batter was way too wet. My pancakes were pretty thick and fluffy but they were a pain to cook. The spices I doubled and added were perfect it's just that maybe cutting back the liquid to two cups was too much? Next time I'll cut it back only a half cup and I think it might be perfect. It really does need the extra baking powder for a fluffier pancake. That being said tasty pancake. Even with my flub-up's this recipe made 15 large pancakes when doubled. Out of the 15 I had three leftover. My boys loved them. I had a small bite of one and thought it was mighty tasty. My son actually remarked that "these are the best pancakes EVER Mom".
Very good recipe. I didn't have molasses so I substituted it with 3 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar. My husband loved it!
Delicious gingerbread taste. Smelled and tasted amazing. The only reason that this is not a 5 star recipe is because they came out a little flat. I like my pancakes a little fluffier. I'll keep the spices, vanilla and molasses and try to alter the recipe for a fluffier result next time. Will definitely keep working on this recipe though, because it was a hit with my ginger-living husband!
I did this the lazy way by using a cup and a half of pancake mix and then adding the recommended amount of spices molasses and vanilla then just adding water until it reached my preferred consistency. Delicious! If you have pancake mix save yourself the trouble of mixing the dry ingredients and just use that instead. Doing it this way will also fix the problems that some reviewers were having with the pancakes not being fluffy or thick enough... If it's too thin just add a little more pancake mix - too thick? Add a little more water. Enjoy!
not bad i added 2 TBSP of brown sugar and another 1/2 tsp of baking powder. made the house smell like christmas morning.
Doubled recipe reduced water by 1/2 cup overall and added a pinch more spices. These were great!
everyone loved them!!!! These were fantastic I followed the recipe exactly
Followed recipe exactly. Batter is way too thin and the pancakes are very thin too. Sorry though the taste is good the pancakes look awful.
Mmm delicious! Thanks CKincaid1! The flavor was exactly what we'd hoped for. We reduced the water to 1 c. and I wish we hadn't. They were a little too thick. Excellent with whipped cream maple syrup bananas and strawberries. Or by themselves!
