These are tried and true. Nice for Christmas morning.

2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt

1 TBSP ground cinnamon
½ tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. ground allspice
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine egg and the next 3 ingredients; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.

Spoon about 2 TBSP of batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Repeat with remaining batter. Cook pancakes until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked; turn and cook other side. Serve with orange marmalade syrup. Yield: 10 pancakes
