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.
5

Heat skillet, grease lightly with oil.

Tip: Pan is ready when a drop of water 'dances' on the surface.
6

Cook medium-thick pancakes. Flip when top dulls and bubbles appear.

Tip: Golden brown color indicates sugar caramelization.
7

Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Tip: Excellent with maple syrup!

Recipe FAQ

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.
