03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How-To:

01 - Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is incredibly light while still feeling substantial and comforting
  • The spice blend hits that perfect autumn note without being overpowering
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter will make these tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking leads to even fluffier results
03 -
  • Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200F oven while you finish cooking the rest
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for the crispest edges
