I’m going down the gingerbread path again; just can’t help myself. We were making a gingerbread house with buttercream frosting for the glue. Trying to build the house proved difficult because everyone kept dipping the walls and shingling into the frosting and then their mouths. The buttery goodness just works so well with the crunchy, gingery, spicy flavor. كيف تربح في البوكر I thought about turning the cookies into a pancake, but it just wouldn’t be complete without the frosting. So why not combine a little frosting into the syrup?
Yummy, hearty pancakes with a spiced molasses edge topped with a buttery maple syrup. Oh hell yes. It is worth the extra work out.
These pancakes were the hit of the breakfast holiday work party. I mixed the batter before heading in, brought along an electric griddle, a pre-cooked strata and all the fixings. We played “guess the stache,” a fun card game that has an image of famous mustaches on the front and hints on the back. Not sure if it was the pancakes, the game or the champagne, but it sure was a super fun gathering.
You could make these Fat and Happy Gingerbread Pancakes any time of the year for any party, but they feel right during the cold winter months.
