# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly, then whisk in milk, molasses, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
03 - Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated; do not overmix. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with additional butter.
05 - Scoop 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look firm, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
06 - In a chilled medium bowl, beat heavy cream and maple syrup with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
07 - Stack pancakes on plates, dollop with maple whipped cream, and drizzle with extra maple syrup as desired. Serve immediately.
