Recipe: Gingerbread Pancakes with Lemon Sauce

Michelle-I have not tried this recipe, but it does sound yummy.

Gingerbread Pancakes

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1-1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Lemon Sauce
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
dash ground nutmeg
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, baking powder,
cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl beat the
egg and milk till combined. Then beat in molasses and cooking oil. Add
the flour mixture to the milk mixture and stir till blended but still
slightly lumpy. Pour about 1/2 cup batter for each pancake onto to hot,
lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat till
browned, turning to cook second sides when pancakes have bubbly
surfaces and slightly dry edges. Serve with Lemon Sauce.

Lemon Sauce: In a small saucepan stir together sugar, cornstarch, and
nutmeg. Stir in water. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Then cook
and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine,
lemon peel, and lemon juice. Stir just till butter or margarine melts.
Serve warm.

Makes: About 10 pancakes and 1-1/4 cups lemon sauce
