A favorite of my children and their friends. This delicious morning treat will be welcomed on a cold winter morning with a cup of hot cocoa. Even teenagers wake up to join you for breakfast!

1 cup all purpose flour

1 T sugar

1 t. baking powder

1 t. ginger

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. cinnamon

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together vegetable oil, molasses, buttermilk and lightly beaten egg in a small bowl. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and stir until well blended. Lightly grease a griddle or pan over medium-low heat and cook approximately 3 minutes per side.
