Gingerbread Pancakes

Ingredients

1 egg

1 cup all-purpose baking mix, such as Bisquick®

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Lightly beat egg in medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients; mix until well blended. Set aside.

2 Heat lightly greased griddle or skillet on medium heat. Pour scant 1/4-cups of batter onto pan. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbles begin to form on top of the pancakes. Flip pancakes.

3 Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Top pancakes with butter, syrup and whipped cream, if desired. Sprinkle with additional Gingerbread Sugar to serve.

Test Kitchen Tip:To make Gingerbread Pancakes in the shape of gingerbread men, all you need is a cookie cutter! Spray the inside of a 4-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter with no stick cooking spray. Place on preheated griddle or skillet and pour batter into cookie cutter. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until bubbly on top, then carefully remove the cookie cutter using tongs. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until lightly browned.
