Ultimate Gingerbread Pancakes with Zesty Lemon Drizzle

Step 1

Combine the gingerbread mix, water, and egg in a spacious bowl, blending until the batter reaches a smooth consistency.

Step 2

Next, warm up a griddle or a generously-sized skillet that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat. Once the griddle is hot, carefully pour the batter onto it, using a slightly less than 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface, then flip them over to cook the other side until nicely browned.

Step 3

In the meantime, whisk together the pudding mix and milk in a microwave-safe bowl for about 2 minutes. Heat the mixture in the microwave on HIGH for approximately 1-1/2 minutes or until it is thoroughly heated, remembering to stir after the first minute. Serve the freshly cooked pancakes with a delightful warm lemon sauce drizzled on top.

Step 4

Tip: For an extra touch of flavor, consider sprinkling some cinnamon or nutmeg into the pancake batter before cooking.
