Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, and wet ingredients in another. Slowly add wet ingredients to bowl of dry ingredients and whisk until evenly mixed.
🥄Kids Step: Let kids do the measuring, pouring and mixing to create the pancake batter.We used our Pyrex Measuring Cup to pour the pancake mixture onto the skillet.A wire whisk like this one is great for mixing the batter.
Step 2: Cook Cinnamon Pancakes!
Pour batter onto buttered, heated skillet. Wait to flip pancakes until bubbles appear and start to pop.
🥄Kid Step: With adult supervision, let the kids to the flipping! They love this job.
🤫 The Secret to FluffyCinnamonPancakes
Let's face it, the fluffier thepancakes, the better! Not only do they look better, but they melt in your mouth! We find these strategies can help ensure a fluffy finish to your Cinnamon Pancakes:
✔️ Measure out baking soda carefully- Baking soda gives pancakes their fluffiness, so be sure to measure out that ingredient carefully. According to Bon Appetit, thebaking soda should be less than 6 months old, or else it won't work as well.
✔️ Don't over-mix the batter- It's okay if your batter has a few small lumps. The more you mix the batter, the more the gluten proteins will bond tightly with other gluten proteins in your mixture. According to Sayyes.com, this makes it harder for air bubbles to form and can lead to chewy pancakes.
✔️Wait for batter to bubble before flipping- Be sure to flip your Cinnamon Pancakes once they have formed bubbles (and the bubbles have started to pop!).
✔️Don't Flatten pancakes- To keep your pancakes fluffy and full, don'tmanipulatethem or flatten them with the spatula as they cook.
🧈 What to Put on Cinnamon Pancakes
Top Cinnamon Pancakes with butter, syrup, whipped cream, MORE cinnamon or powdered sugar! You can also add sliced fruit or peanut butter to your pancakes!
As far as sides go, we like to keep things simple and add some crispy bacon and strawberries to our plates, but the possibilities are endless. If you are planning to stay in the breakfast department, we recommend pairing Cinnamon Pancakes with yogurt, our Catchall Frittata or these adorable Mini Crustless Ham and Broccoli Quiches.
🧂Variations
- Add chocolate chips- Why not go evensweeter for special occasions?
- Mix in fruit- Sliced bananas, strawberries or blueberries all mix in well to this recipe or can be served on top of pancakes.
- Add nuts- Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts for a little crunch and pop of flavor!
- Increase cinnamon- If you want more of the sweet and spicy flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon according to preference. You can also vary the amount of vanilla.
❓FAQ
Can I make the cinnamon pancake batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this batter ahead of time. Simply mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients together in two separate bowls. Store covered in the refrigerator and do not combine the wet and dry ingredients until you are ready to cook the pancakes.
How can I keep my pancakes from becoming rubbery?
Be careful not to over-mix the batter, which can lead to chewy, rubbery pancakes. It's okay to have a few lumps in batter!
How should I store leftover pancakes?
Store pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Can I freeze pancakes?
Yes, pancakes can be stored in the freezer! First, allow pancakes to completely cool. Then, place pancakes on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and freeze for about an hour. Finally, remove pancakes from the baking sheet and store in a freezer bag or container for up to three months. This method prevents pancakes from sticking together. Pancakes can be reheated in a toaster or toaster oven.
👶🏾Tips for Picky Eaters
