Gingerbread Pancakes

So I picked up a new cookbook over the weekend.  It's supposed to be a gift for someone, but I may have to break down and buy one for myself because there are too many recipes that look too good to pass up on!

I made Gingerbread Pancakes for the family yesterday.  Man, were they good and made the house smell yummy at the same time!

Here's the recipe:

5c. flour
1 Tbsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
2 2/3 c. water
1 1/2 c. molasses
1 c. butter, melted
4 eggs, slightly beaten

Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.  In a separate bowl, combine water, molasses, butter and eggs.  Gradually add molasses mixture to flour mixture, blending until smooth.  Cook on hot griddle.

This is a Mormon (or LDS as they go by out here) cookbook, so the amount of pancakes you will have when you are finished is MORE than enough for any family I know.  I put our left overs in the freezer for those mornings when we're running late and the kids want pancakes.  You could easily cut this in half and still have plenty.

Enjoy!
