Loved these - made as written and they were just perfect. Light and fluffy, with a nice gingerbread flavor. Wonderful Christmas Eve breakfast, think we have a new tradition. Thanks for a great recipe!

Lovely! I subsituted honey for molasses because I live in Italy and they don't sell molasses here, it worked out just fine. I recommend eating them with syrup, it really brings out the gingery flavour!

These are excellent! My only change was to add a generous pinch of ground cloves. I added some chocolate chips to some of the pancakes, and my daughter scarfed down 3 of them. Delicious with or without syrup! We all loved these, even my 15 month old (who usually just tosses his food on the floor). I would use about 1/4 cup less of milk next time to thicken up the batter.

Absolutely some of the best tasting pancakes we've had! LOVED the taste & will be making these again soon so I can top them off with some of the homemade cranberry syrup I have in mind! Thanks for sharing this great keeper! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend Tag]

Nice change to regular pancakes, my children enjoyed them. I didn't want the molasses flavour to be too strong, so I lessened by 1 tbsp, I could have even gone a little less than that and used a bit of sugar as another reviewer suggested. I subbed Ener-G egg replacer for eggs and used some vanilla rice milk. Worked out great - it's a really thick batter which cooked up well.

Zaar has been such a super experience for me.Not only do I get to try new recipes...play with my camera taking foodie pics but I get to make new friends along the way! I'm currently unemployed so have lots more time to devote to a couple of my passions...cooking and photography. So long as my health is good...I'm full speed ahead! I love gardening as well and grow my own herbs. I love my city...just ask me! LOL I &hearts; MTL Montreal has many food festivals and of course our famous Jazz festival and also the Comedy festival"Just for laughs". Below is my Grand-Kitten, Hopper...since I have no grandbabies yet and he belongs to my son...I decided he deserved the title and he is just the apple of my eye...he is 8 weeks in this pic. <img
