Let’s Make Some Pancakes!

You can make this amazing holiday breakfast in just 2 simple steps! These gingerbread pancakes are so easy to whip up, you’re going to love them! They’ll have everyone in your family hooked.

Don’t Overmix: Like with breads and cakes, if you overmix your batter gluten will develop. This can lead to your pancakes ending up hard and rubbery. To get the perfect texture, use a whisk to mix up your batter and only mix until combined.Make Sure Your Pan is Hot Enough: Allow your pan to heat up completely before adding your first cup of batter. If the pan isn’t hot enough, the batter will just spread and soak up any oil on the pan. This will lead to greasy pancakes that aren’t cooked through properly.Wait to Flip: For that perfect pancake, you only want to flip your pancake once. Wait until a lot of bubbles have formed before the flip. Having to continue flipping back and forth until both sides are cooked through will leave you with flat pancakes.

In the Refrigerator: Store your leftover gingerbread pancakes in an airtight container for up to 4 days.In the Freezer: These tasty pancakes can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. It takes a little more preparation, but it’s well worth it! Wrap each pancake in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.Reheating: Pop your pancakes in the microwave for 15-30 second intervals until warmed through.
