Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Additional butter for cooking and serving
- Maple syrup for serving (optional)
Directions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, and then whisk in the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Make the Pancake Batter:
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Set aside.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat lightly with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Sprinkle the top of each pancake with a generous amount of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm:
- Serve the pancakes hot with extra butter and maple syrup if desired.
Snickerdoodle Pancakes transform a beloved cookie flavor into a warm, comforting breakfast option. The combination of soft, fluffy texture with the sweet hit of cinnamon sugar makes them a festive and tasty choice for any breakfast or brunch table.
