# What you'll need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 3/4 cup milk
09 - 2 tablespoons molasses
10 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
11 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
12 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Method:

01 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a large bowl until evenly mixed.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Create a well in the dry ingredients and gently fold in the wet mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula until just blended; small lumps are acceptable.
04 - Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat; lightly grease with butter.

06 - Continue cooking remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as necessary to prevent sticking.
07 - Stack pancakes and serve warm topped with butter and maple syrup or preferred accompaniments.
