Did anyone eat breakfast today?

I tried (again) to make ginger pancakes. It seems no matter what I do, I can't taste the ginger.

 

[Wyogal]

are you using powdered ginger? have you tried diced candied ginger? Or how about a ginger-infused syrup?

This morning, I used powdered ginger in the batter and added crystallized ginger after pouring the batter onto the griddle.

Is it old ginger? How much did you use in the batter?

No, and I don't know.

I just used the shaker. I'd guess about 25-33% coverage on top the flour.

Use more ginger. Here are some recipes, and it looks like they call for quite a bit more ginger than a sprinkling on top.

In the past, I've used 16 times the amount of ginger in pancakes that the spice calls for to make gingerbread, and still couldn't tell it was even in there. Although that might have been old ginger.

Some of these recipes call for between 1.5 teaspoons to a tablespoon in a single batch of pancakes. I'd say that if you use that much and still can't taste it, then it would be old ginger.

I want to say I got as high as 2-4T per 1/2 cup of flour.

wow. and you still can't taste it? 4T (1/4 cup) of ginger to 1/2 cup of flour is a lot of ginger.

It should have been so hot that it burned your mouth, but it was completely undetectable.

I guess I should start actually measuring, and increase the amount until it works (now that I've got new ginger).

Are you adding any other spices like cinnamon or cloves? Going for gingerbread flavor, or just ginger?

I was originally going for gingerbread, but that was months (or years) ago. Today, I just used the ginger.

I had breakfast for dinner last night, but I had a very early breakfast this morning of a cinnamon-raisin bagel with plain cream cheese.
