Gingerbread Pancakes ~ the morning after Christmas is fraught with so many emotions…for the head cook and shopper, aka Mrs. Claus, it’s probably a huge relief. For the rest of the family it can be a bit depressing. Let them down easy with these lightly spiced pancakes.
With little tricks like this you can extend the holiday spirit right through till the new year, at which point you have permission to kick drag relocate that rapidly crisping tree out to the curb, along with every razor sharp pine needle, shred of curling ribbon, balled up blob of scotch tape, crumpledย piece of tissue paper and over-priced gift bag you can possibly cram into a lawn and leaf trash sack
…funny how the mood can change on a dime once January 1st rolls around….
Note ~ย Make it even easier on yourself and measure and mix the dry ingredients the night before. If you don’t have buttermilk, use regular, or add a tablespoon of lemon juice to regular milk and let it sit for 10 minutes.

drooling over your “morning after” and “lemon poppyseed” pancakes. Can’t wait to try them out on our Bed and Breakfast guests. I have a feeling they may become a guest favorite. Thanks in advance. ๐
thanks Glen ๐
Just drooling here over those pancakes…
I got to my sister’s all right and last night we had raclette. I didn’t take any photos as I was really tired from the long trip, but I can tell you it was DELICIOUS. No eclairs yet, but she baked an incredible clafouti with cherries. Drolling again…
Oh, yum! These look delicious, and I love the syrup pour.
