Ingredients:

1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3 tablespoons molasses
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon butter, melted
More butter for the griddle
Maple syrup

 

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. In a small bowl whisk together the molasses, egg, sour cream and melted butter. Add this to the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.

Heat a pancake griddle or skillet over moderate heat until hot enough to make drops of water scatter over surface. Brush the griddle or pan with some additional butter. Drop batter by 1/4-cup measures onto griddle, and cook pancakes until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.

Keep the pancakes warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Top with maple syrup.
