Equipment
Ingredients
Pancakes
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon melted butter
Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tablespoon melted butter
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl. Let stand for about 5 minutes to create a homemade buttermilk substitute.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the egg and melted butter to the buttermilk mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour until smooth. Transfer the cinnamon swirl filling to a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour small circles of pancake batter onto the cooking surface.
- Immediately pipe a swirl of the cinnamon sugar filling onto each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite glaze.
Notes
- If the cinnamon swirl filling is too thick to pipe, add a small splash of milk and stir until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat to prevent the cinnamon sugar from burning.
- For an extra sweet finish, drizzle the pancakes with a simple vanilla glaze made from confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Freeze cooled pancakes for up to 3 months with parchment paper between each pancake.
- For best results, use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to create clean cinnamon swirls.
