Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup whole milk (300g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5g)
  • 4 tbs unsalted butter, melted (56g)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (110g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (3g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)
  • 1 tbs baking powder (14g)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and brown sugar until fully incorporated.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Whisk until a smooth, slightly thin batter forms with a few small lumps remaining; the consistency should resemble glue.
  3. Preheat Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat to approximately 325°F (165°C).
  4. Prepare Pan for Cooking: Add a pat of butter to the preheated skillet to prevent sticking and to give the pancakes lightly crisped edges.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional minute.
  6. Serve: Once cooked through, plate the cinnamon brown sugar pancakes and serve warm with real maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep the pancakes tender.
  • Use whole milk for best flavor and texture, but you can substitute with dairy-free milk if preferred.
  • Adjust cinnamon and brown sugar amounts to your taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
  • These pancakes freeze well; reheat gently in a toaster or microwave.
