In large bowl, stir pancake ingredients with whisk until well blended.
Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F).
Brush griddle with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
For each pancake, pour ¼ cup batter onto hot griddle.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and edges are dry.
Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
Using 3½- to 4-inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutter, cut one shape from each warm pancake.
Decorate as desired using icing, candies and sprinkles.

Make-Ahead Magic
Get these cuties cooking in seconds when you prep everything the night before. Spoon the measured Bisquick mix and spices into a bowl. Measure the milk in a 2-cup measuring cup; stir in the apple butter and eggs until well blended. In the morning, simply dump the wet ingredients into the bowl and mix.
