Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon cinnamon mixed with 1 tablespoon sugar)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to create an even dry base for the batter.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until fully blended and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep the pancakes tender.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and achieve a golden crust.
- Pour and Swirl Cinnamon Sugar: Pour pancake batter onto the hot skillet in desired pancake size. Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of each pancake, using a toothpick or skewer to create a small delicate swirl pattern.
- Cook Pancakes: Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve the cinnamon swirl pancakes warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings for a cozy breakfast delight.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar swirl amount according to your preferred cinnamon intensity.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan for best results.
- Serve immediately for optimum warm texture, or keep warm in a low oven.
