CINNAMON BROWN SUGAR PANCAKES

The combination of spicy cinnamon and rich brown sugar creates a perfect flavor profile, giving these pancakes delightful caramel-like undertones. Served with real maple syrup, these fluffy cinnamon brown sugar pancakes are sure to become your go-to fall breakfast treat.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1⁄4 cups whole milk (300g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5g)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (56g)
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar (110g)*
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt (3g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (14g)

Directions:

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, melted butter, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  2. Sift the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder into the liquid mixture. Whisk until smooth, with just a few small lumps remaining. The batter should be slightly thin, resembling the consistency of glue.
  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat, or to about 325°F (165°C).
  4. Once the skillet is hot, add a small pat of butter to prevent sticking and to achieve lightly crisped edges on the pancakes.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the underside is golden. Flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side.
  6. Once cooked, plate the pancakes and serve warm with real maple syrup and butter.

Notes:

  • Light or Dark Brown Sugar? You can use either light or dark brown sugar. Light brown sugar will provide a milder caramel flavor, while dark brown sugar will give a richer, more robust taste.
