INGREDIENTS
3 eggs
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. no salt added buttermilk
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. strong brewed coffee
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. Featherweight sodium-free baking powder (available at Whole Foods and online at healthyheartmarket.com)
1 T. Ener-G sodium-free baking soda (available online at healthyheartmarket.com)
1 t. ground cloves
1 T. ground cinnamon
1 T. ground ginger
1 T. ground nutmeg
4 T. unsalted butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
Cream eggs and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk, water and coffee, and beat well. Sift together the remaining DRY ingredients and combine with the egg mixture. Stir in the melted butter. NOTE: For a thinner-consistency batter, stir in 1/4 c. lowfat milk along with the melted butter.
Heat a nonstick giddle over medium-high. Once ready, pour batter onto hot griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides. Watch the heat; it may need to be turned down to medium if pancakes are browning too quickly. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately.
