Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the coconut whipped cream by chilling a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight, then whip with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve with coconut whipped cream and desired toppings.
