Made this for our post Christmas family breakfast for 10 of us (made a triple recipe). They were fantastic! Used gluten free flour and they were light and delicious! I somehow managed to get a few myself and the flavor was just perfect! I will be making these again and again.

This is the best gingerbread pancake recipe I've tried. Has an authentic gingerbread flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, except I left out the cloves. I got 8 pancakes out of it.

Flavourful and fluffy pancakes. I like to put a strawberry sauce on top; perfect for any breakfast whether it be Christmas or not.
