Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Glaze
- Cream cheese glaze or maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, which will be swirled into the batter during cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour batter onto the hot skillet in pancake-sized rounds. Quickly sprinkle and swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture on the surface of each pancake with the back of a spoon or a toothpick.
- Flip Pancakes: Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Drizzle warm pancakes with cream cheese glaze or maple syrup. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For added texture and flavor, fold in chopped pecans into the batter or sprinkle on top before flipping.
- Almond flour may require slight adjustments in milk quantity for consistency.
- Use low-fat milk or dairy substitutes to reduce calories if desired.
- Ensure skillet is properly heated to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
