Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large Golden Delicious apples (about 1 pound), peeled and sliced
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for cooking the pancakes

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the mixture bubbles. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla; transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the flour, granulated sugar, ginger, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Combine 1/4 cup water, the egg, molasses, and 3 tablespoons oil in a glass measuring cup; add to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture is just combined but not smooth. Add additional water if necessary to reach the consistency of pancake batter.
  • 3. Brush a nonstick skillet with a little oil; heat over medium-low heat. Add the gingerbread mixture to the skillet a generous tablespoonful at a time and spread to make a 2 1/2-inch round; cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until all the batter has been used. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven until all have been cooked.
  • 4. To serve, divide the pancakes among dessert plates and top each serving with some of the apples.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 18 to 20 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 large egg
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Red and green sprinkles, for garnish, optional
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cloves. In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, orange zest and egg. Slowly add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. It is ok if the batter is a little lumpy. Do not overmix or you will have tough pancakes. (Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes for fluffier pancakes.)
  • For the icing: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk. Set aside.
  • Grease a griddle or nonstick skillet with butter and heat to medium high. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. When small bubbles begin to form on the tops of the pancakes, after 2 to 3 minutes, flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pancakes immediately with the icing and garnish with sprinkles and whipped cream if desired.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
1 cup milk
3/4 cup apple butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1 can (6.4-oz size) Betty Crocker™ Easy Flow white decorating icing
Small candies

Steps:

  • In large bowl, stir all pancake ingredients with wire whisk until well blended. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary or spray with cooking spray before heating.
  • For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and edges are dry. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
  • Using 3 1/2 to 4-inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutter, cut one shape from each warm pancake. Decorate as desired using icing and candies.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 serving

Tips:

  • Use fresh, grated ginger for the best flavor. Ground ginger can be used if necessary, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through in the middle.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Gingerbread pancakes with apple topping are a delicious and festive breakfast or brunch dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The pancakes are fluffy and flavorful, while the apple topping is sweet and tart. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home.
