01
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the gingerbread mix, water, and egg until you have a smooth batter. Heat up a griddle or a large skillet over medium heat and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Pour about a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on the top, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 2
While the pancakes are cooking, combine the pudding mix and milk in a microwave-safe bowl and whisk it well. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until it’s warm and smooth. Serve the pancakes drizzled with this warm lemon sauce and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These pancakes combine cozy gingerbread spices with a bright, warm lemon drizzle. The flavors create a perfect balance of sweet and tangy, making them a delightful treat for breakfast or brunch. They feel special yet are easy to prepare.
How to serve
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. Fresh berries or sliced bananas also pair well and add a refreshing contrast to the warm spices.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep them soft. The lemon drizzle is best added just before serving to maintain its fresh flavor.
