Gingerbread Pancakes (February 2000)
Homey Breakfast recipe from Magnolia Cafe, Austin.
3 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup brewed coffee
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Cream eggs and sugar together. Stir in buttermilk, water, and coffee and set aside. In a separate bowl sift together remaining dry ingredients. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients (do not overbeat), then mix in melted butter. Add more water or buttermilk if necessary, but batter should be thick. Cook until done on a lightly greased hot griddle or in a heavy skillet (turn once when bubbles appear on upper side and start to break). Pancakes will be thick and cakelike in texture. Makes 8 to 10 five-inch pancakes.![]()
