A Little Bit of All Right

Many years ago, I volunteered to make specialty pancakes for a church pancake breakfast.  I had a recipe for gingerbread pancakes and decided to use cookie cutters to shape the pancakes into gingerbread people.  It turned out that, between greasing the cookie cutters, the fact that I only had space for four at a time, and the longer cooking time, it took much longer to make gingerbread people pancakes than round round which meant that by the end of the pancake breakfast, I still had quite a bit of batter left.  So I added some more flour to the batter, poured it into a prepared glass dish, and baked up a gingerbread cake to take with me to dinner that night. While I've made those same pancakes many times since, I've not made a gingerbread cake again until this month.  I'm glad I didn't put it off any longer. This recipe is the perfect recipe for when you need a quick dessert.  I generally have every ingredient in my house; it doesn't require a mixer or softened butt
