Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, molasses, and beaten egg until smooth.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold together until just combined; a lumpy batter is fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping when bubbles form.
Cook flipped pancakes for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Stack on a warm plate.
Serve warm drizzled with maple syrup and optional powdered sugar or fruits.
