Happy New Year!!

For Breakfast this morning I tried a new recipe to celebrate 2009: Gingerbread Pancakes! I wanted to start the tradition of making Gingerbread Pancakes on Christmas morning but when I went to the grocery store to buy molasses everyone was out! I couldn't believe the run on molasses. I guess I had the same idea everyone in the area had! At least everyone was using it in some recipe in their holiday baking. Luckily, when we ventured to the store this week to prepare for New Years morning breakfast, the stores had their shelves stalked again! I wanted to share this yummy recipe with you all. It is definitely worth making! We hope 2009 will be a wonderful year for everyone!

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons molasses

1 tablespoon canola oil

Apple Pie filling, warmed

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine the egg, milk, oil and molasses; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown. Serve with warmed pie filling, pancake syrup and whip cream.
