Drizzle canola oil on a large griddle or skillet over medium-low heat while you make the pancake batter.
1/4 canola oil
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and brown sugar until well combined.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
Add milk, eggs and oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
3/4 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1/4 canola oil
Add the molasses and gently mix until batter is smooth and free from any large lumps. Small lumps are totally fine, and actually encouraged because it makes the pancakes fluffier.
3 Tablespoons molasses
Pour ⅓ cup scoops of batter onto the preheated griddle or skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles form around the edges.
Flip and cook your pancakes for about 2 minutes or until golden brown, and done in the center.
Serve warm with maple syrup and whipped cream.

Just mix enough that the wet ingredients and dry ingredients are combined. Don't overmix or it could affect the gluten and cause your pancakes to be more chewy than fluffy.
To keep the pancakes warm while you make the next batch, place them on sheet pan in an oven heated to 200F. This will keep them warm without drying them out.
