Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg (or flaxseed egg)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter (or vegan butter)

Optional Toppings

  • Syrup
  • Cream cheese glaze
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pancake batter: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until smooth, leaving some lumps for tender pancakes.
  2. Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until you form a paste-like consistency suitable for piping or swirling inside the batter.
  3. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a scoop of batter onto the skillet, then immediately add small dollops or streaks of the cinnamon mixture on top. Lightly swirl them with a toothpick or knife. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook until both sides are golden brown.
  4. Serve warm with toppings: Stack the pancakes high and drizzle with syrup, cream cheese glaze, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for a cozy and indulgent breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for the most vibrant and aromatic swirls.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; some lumps are fine.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat to ensure even browning without burning.
  • Test your swirl technique with small amounts to avoid overpowering the batter.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
