Ingredients

Scale

Wet 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)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (3g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (14g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, melted unsalted butter, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Whisk gently until you create a smooth, slightly thin batter with just a few small lumps remaining, similar in consistency to glue.
  3. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, approximately 325°F (165°C), allowing it to warm evenly to create the ideal cooking temperature for pancakes.
  4. Butter the Pan: Add a small pat of butter to the skillet to prevent sticking and to naturally crisp the edges of the pancakes as they cook.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet to form each pancake. Cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds or until the underside is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute until fully cooked through and golden.
  6. Serve Warm: Plate the cooked cinnamon brown sugar pancakes immediately and serve warm with real maple syrup and additional butter for a delicious breakfast experience.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter once dry ingredients are added.
  • Use whole milk for richness; you can substitute with a plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Maintain medium-low heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for added texture and flavor.
  • Store leftover pancakes wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster or skillet.
