Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 cup flour *all purpose
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon butter *melted

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 tablespoon butter *melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

  • Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl. Set aside for about 5 minutes to let the milk “sour”. 
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk in egg and melted butter into soured milk.
  • Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone. 
  • Make the cinnamon swirl mixture in a separate bowl by combining all ingredients. Use either a squirt bottle (ketchup type bottle), or bag with corner snipped off.
  • Scoop pancake batter in small circles on heated pan/griddle. Immediately add the cinnamon swirls.
  • Cook the pancakes until small bubbles develop on top of pancake. Flip over using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Serve!

Notes

*We just put a thin layer of butter on them to keep them moist, syrup may take away from the cinnamon swirl flavor.
**If cinnamon mixture is too thick to drizzle, add milk to thin it out allowing it to pour on better
