• Prepare a skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into the prepared skillet; cook until bubbles begin to form on the top, 3 to 5 minutes.

Repeat until batter is completely used.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE AND RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm.
• For the pancakes: Whisk the flour, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the cornstarch, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt together in a large bowl. Whisk 1 1/4 cups of the milk, the molasses, melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and the eggs together in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until batter is thick and ingredients are just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the cream cheese sauce: Combine the remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with the cream cheese and rum in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking until the cream cheese melts completely and mixture just begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and keep warm.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Use 1 heaping tablespoon of the batter per pancake, making enough to just fill the skillet without crowding. Cook until pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, about 30 seconds. Flip the pancakes and cook until lightly golden on the bottom, about 30 seconds more. Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking them between the kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• When ready to serve, divide the pancakes between four serving plates, dust with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with the cream cheese sauce. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

LEMON GINGER CAKE WITH LEMON-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• For Cake:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 °F. Butter two 9-inch diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Line bottom of pans with waxed paper; butter paper. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla (mixture may look curdled). Sift flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt into medium bowl; add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk in 3 additions each, beginning with dry ingredients.
• Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake until golden brown and tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer pans to racks. Cool 10 minutes. Using small sharp knife, cut around sides of pan to loosen cakes. Turn out cakes onto racks and cool completely. Peel off waxed paper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic and store at room temperature.)
• For Frosting:
• Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon peel and vanilla in large bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until frosting is smooth.
• Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread 1 cup frosting over top. Place remaining cake layer atop. Using icing spatula, spread remaining frosting over sides and top of cake in decorative swirls. Sprinkle top of cake with remaining 1 teaspoon lemon peel. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover with cake dome and refrigerate. Let cake stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.)

LEMON DRIZZLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk all of the pancake ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Put a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook until melted and foaming. Pour 2 tbsp of the mixture into the pan and use the back of the spoon to shape into a 8-9cm round disc. Depending on the size of your pan you may be able to get 2 or 3 pancakes to cook at the same time. Cook for 2-3 mins on the first side, then flip over and cook for another 1 min on the other.
• Heat oven to its lowest setting. Stack the cooked pancakes on a baking tray and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest.
• Softly beat the double cream with the icing sugar using a whisk, then fold in half of the lemon curd. Mix the remaining curd with enough lemon juice to make it a drizzling consistency.
• To serve, stack the pancakes with layers of the whipped cream in between them, drizzle with lemon curd, and scatter with lemon zest to serve.
