- Why did it stick?
- Pan wasn't hot enough or lacked fat. The first pancake is often a sacrifice.
- Why is it rubbery?
- Overmixed after adding flour. Mix only until lumps disappear!
- Can I store the batter?
- Yes, up to 1 day in the fridge, but stir before using as flour settles.
Cinnamon Batter Pancakes
A hybrid between American pancakes and classic thin crêpes. The cinnamon mixed into the batter caramelizes during cooking, making every disc delicious even without filling. Thicker than a crêpe but softer and more flexible than a flapjack.

Instructions
1
✓
Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Tip: Mixing dry ingredients ensures cinnamon and salt are in every bite.
2
✓
Whisk eggs with milk, then pour into flour mix. Whisk until smooth.
Tip: If too thick, add a splash more milk.
3
✓
Drizzle in lukewarm melted butter and mix.
Tip: Butter in the batter means you need very little oil for the pan.
4
✓
Let batter rest 10-15 minutes.
Tip: Resting allows flour to hydrate, making the texture silkier.

Heat skillet, grease lightly with oil.
