Make these fluffy pancakes featuring the warm spice of ginger balanced with sweet maple syrup. This recipe includes a simple candied ginger topping for extra texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Candied Ginger Crumble: 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger
  • For Whipped Cream: 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, ground ginger, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Prepare topping: If making the optional topping, gently fold the chopped candied ginger into the batter right before cooking, or reserve it for sprinkling on top.
  5. Make whipped cream: In a small bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and orange zest until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  6. Cook pancakes: Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  7. Flip pancakes: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown.
  8. Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with a dollop of orange zest whipped cream and extra pure maple syrup.

Notes

  • For a stronger ginger flavor, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger with 1 teaspoon of finely grated fresh ginger in the batter.
  • If you prefer thinner pancakes, add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of milk to the batter.
  • Use high-quality pure maple syrup for the best flavor in this breakfast.
