Fluffy Gingerbread Pancake

When it’s time for breakfast I mostly think eggs or pancakes, today it’s going to be pancake, but it’s not the usual one. Gingerbread pancake flavored with cinnamon and ground ginger.

In my humble opinion, people love pancakes because not only it’s fluffy and light like a cake, but you can change its flavor by drizzling it with your favorite syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, or even serve it with fruits. Oh, and let’s not forget the butter.

To be creative with pancakes, all you have to do is think of it as a cake, every flavor you can add to a cake, you can add the same flavor or even ingredients in pancake. This Gingerbread pancake tastes like Gingerbread cookies.
You have to be careful when making the pancake batter, do not to over mix it, otherwise you won’t get a fluffy and light pancake.

Gingerbread pancakes are not only delicious, but very light and go so well with any sauce or syrup you wish to use. Try it and tweak it to your liking, have fun with your breakfast 🙂
