Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Chocolate sauce (for drizzling, optional)
- Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are fine to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they sizzle, it’s ready.
- Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (200°F or 93°C) while cooking the remaining batter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- Dip one side of each pancake into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
- Stack 2-3 pancakes on a plate.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired and add a dollop of whipped cream.
- Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon-sugar on top for a finishing touch.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
- These pancakes can be served with fresh fruit or maple syrup for added sweetness.
