Gingerbread (Pepparkakor) Pancakes

I am a fan of eating pancakes plain, which is one reason I love these so much.

They have a lot of flavor without putting anything on top.

This was my choice for Christmas morning breakfast.

3 cups flour

3/4 tsp. of baking soda

1 tablespoon of baking powder

 1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. ginger spice (we used dried/powdered)

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. cloves (we used cloves that were already ground)

1/2 tsp. nutmeg (freshly grated)

3 cups buttermilk (kärnmjölk)

3 eggs (at room temperature)

1/3 cup of molasses (you could probably substitute treacle but as we are in Europe we are using molasses)

Whisk all your dry ingredients together, well, in a large bowl

 Then, whisk into the mixture your eggs and molasses-

Let the whole mixture rest for about 15 minutes, you should see the mixture bubbling a bit which means the batter is aerated and ready to cook.

*Zok says if you can't find buttermilk you can add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice for each cup of whole milk.

The second photo is just a close up of the bubbles you want to see before cooking.

 

 Here is a photo of the buttermilk.
