Pancake Batter

Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Make the Cinnamon Swirl

    In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and 1 tbsp melted butter to create a cinnamon swirl mixture.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Drizzle a small amount of the cinnamon mixture on top. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl it slightly into the batter.

  6. 6

    Flip and Finish

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm, topped with maple syrup, additional cinnamon swirl, and powdered sugar if desired.
