After trying to buy/find Gingerbread spice for a pancake recipe, I came to the conclusion it's pretty much the same thing as Pumpkin Pie spice. But store-bought Pumpkin Pie spice didn't have cloves and I knew I wanted something a little more complex, so these ingredients are the ones I finally decided on!
