Gingerbread Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons molasses

Preparation

Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and molasses together.
Stir wet ingredients into flour mixture, just until moistened, leaving it a little lumpy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and oil it lightly or coat with a small amount of shortening.
Add batter, approx 1/4 cup at a time to the griddle, but do not crowd.
Cook until bubbles appear and edges begin to brown, then turn them and cook the other side until lightly browned on the bottom.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a platter and keep warm until all are cooked.
Serve with chunky applesauce or apple pie filling and whipped cream, if desired; also goes good with poached pears.
