Bust out your butter knives for this winter-ready, gluten-free shortstack. Inspired by holiday gingerbread cake, spices like clove, nutmeg, and ginger give your first meal of the day a delicious seasonal spin. To get a jump start on your morning, whisk the dry ingredients the night before so there’s even less to do by the time you make it to the kitchen.
