These pancakes bring together warm spices and a touch of ginger for a cozy, flavorful breakfast treat. Topped with a bright, zesty lemon sauce, they’re the perfect balance of sweet and tangy to start your day.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gingerbread mix, water, and egg until you have a smooth batter. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Pour about a heaping 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
While the pancakes are cooking, mix the pudding mix and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk it well for about 2 minutes, then microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it’s warm and smooth. Serve the pancakes topped with the warm, zesty lemon sauce and enjoy!
- Use fresh ginger for the best spicy flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and a few fresh berries for added color and texture. A dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt also pairs nicely to add creaminess. These pancakes go well with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on a skillet to keep them soft. The lemon sauce can be kept separately in the fridge for up to three days.
