GRANDMA'S GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl with the vanilla and molasses until smooth. Whisk in the water until completely incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined -- a few lumps are okay.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

DELICIOUS LOW-FAT GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES (HEALTHY!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper (this keeps the cookies softer).
• Cream the margarine and brown sugar in a large bowl, then stir in the egg whites(beaten) and the molasses and vinegar.
• Sift together remaining ingredients and add to the wet mixture.
• Shape into 24 balls and roll them in the additional granulated sugar. Lightly press them on the cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the pan for about 2 minutes to firm slightly, then slide onto a cooling rack. ENJOY!
• Store these in an airtight container in layers lined with wax paper (prevents sogginess).

GINGER MOLASSES PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir the oats into the yogurt in a large mixing bowl and leave to soak overnight at room temperature.
• Cover the dried fruit with warm water and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and add to the oats and yogurt. Stir in the flour, water, molasses, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt and eggs. Let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Lightly butter a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan and warm up on just less than medium heat. At the same time, preheat an oven to 175°.
• Drop in a quarter-cup of the batter for each pancake and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until the edges are cooked and bubbles are well formed on the surface. Turn over and fry on the other side until the pancakes are golden brown on both sides, about one minute longer. Remove from the pan and place on a plate in the oven to keep warm until all the batter's been used up for pancakes.

GINGER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the dry ingredients to blend. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, pumpkin (if using above variation)and butter until blended. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until blended.
• Heat griddle to about 350°F, or a frying pan over medium heat. Coat lightly with oil.
• Drop pancake batter onto the griddle and cook until pancakes are browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes; they'll form bubbles on their top surface, and the edges will begin to look dry.
• Turn and brown the other side.
• Serve with butter, syrup, and diced crystallized ginger.
• Yields sixteen 4-inch pancakes.
