Gingerbread Pancakes

December 14

have a new recipe this year for Gingerbread Pancakes which are rich with festive spice and sweetened with dark brown sugar and treacle. A welcome addition to your Christmas morning spread served creme fraiche and copious amounts of maple syrup.

Serves 4
30mins

Method

1. Add the butter, sugar and treacle to a small pot and place over a medium high heat until the butter has melted and sugar has dissolved.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour with the baking powder and spices. Create a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk, butter/sugar mixture, eggs and vanilla bean paste. Whisk together until a smooth batter forms.
3. Brush a large nonstick frying pan with melted butter and place over a medium heat. Add roughly a tablespoon of the batter per pancake across the pan, leaving space for the batter to expand as it cooks. Cook for 2-3 minutes on either side.
4. Keep warm in a low oven before serving with maple syrup and dollops of creme fraiche.

The addition of the blueberries to the pan once the pancakes have cooked creates a delicious juicy sauce which coats the pancakes, I like to add some honey here to sweeten it a little and helps to thicken any juices which come out of the berries. Make sure and fold the egg whites into the rest of the ingredients gently in order to keep as much air in the mixture as possible which will give light pancakes.

Healthy Buckwheat Pancakes

These super healthy pancakes are best made small, as if they are too large they are hard to flip. They are dairy-free and sugar free but still taste really good. (Recipe from David & Stephen Flynn’s The Happy Pear available on Amazon. )
