Gingerbread Pancakes

Submitted by Luby Luby Luby

"I found this recipe on Food Network and it comes from the Magnolia Cafe. I have no idea of the location of the Magnolia Cafe, but I do like these pancakes. These are a dense pancake which I like to eat by themselves. The original recipe only called for 1/4 cup brown sugar, but I decided to double it and am very glad I did."

These pancakes made for a delicious breakfast! I was a little worried that they would be too spicy, but the spices were balanced perfectly. I was out of ground cloves and substituted all spice. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Excellent pancakes! Not for the faint of heart, these have lots of gingerbread spiciness. Fantastic with maple syrup, but I can't wait to try them with ginger syrup. Yum! Magnolia Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Austin. I ate there several times a week in college and am craving it now. Try it, you won't be sorry! Thanks, Luby, for sharing their recipe!

Absolutely wonderful! The 1/2 cup of sugar wasn't too sweet for us. I made these one morning for breakfast and doubled the recipe with the intention of freezing some so the kids could eat them during the week. HA! There were none left to freeze!
