Ginger Pancakes

Ginger Pancakes

I'm always trying to come up with healthier twists on staple foods. I experimented these into creation this weekend and am in love~
The health benefits of honey and ginger in treating respiratory problems are unmatched by any other concoction. Further, honey is an excellent medium for transmitting the benefits of herbs such as ginger to the body. Both honey and ginger have their individual health benefits and the combination provides additional uses. (Click here for health benefits of honey, factors governing the benefits of honey and health benefits of ginger root.)

1 packet crystallized honey Ginger.
( you can get this in most health food stores- i bought it at Whole Foods for less than 4 bucks... its usually used to make a hot ginger drink. )
substitute 1 tsp each powdered Ginger and warm honey if you can't find this for every 2 servings of pancakes you make up...
Buttermilk pancake mix
Milk
Cinnamon
Mix your pancake batter with milk instead of water and add the cinnamon and ginger honey. Cook pancakes on a low-med heat. (tip: due to the baking soda in the pancake mix, you know when to flip by watching the bubble forma nd pop on the top of hte pancake. when the buble stop forming/ popping its time to flip! careful watching and timing will eave you with golden brown pancakes!)
spread with light butter and real maple syrup or maybe cut up some bananas and use a orange marmalade. These pancakes are a healthier and tastier variation on a favorite... the ginger adds a kick that goes very well with the maplesyrup or orange marmalade. If you're a little gun shy of strong ginger, these pancakes mute the intensity while providing the health benifits!
