Ingredients
All-purpose flour
Granulated sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Ground cinnamon
Eggs
Milk
Vanilla extract
Butter
Granulated sugar (for coating)
Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Melted butter (for coating)
Maple syrup (optional)
Chocolate sauce (optional)
Caramel sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Brush warm pancakes lightly with melted butter.
In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon, then coat each pancake evenly.
Serve immediately with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
Brush pancakes with butter while warm to help the coating stick.
Add nutmeg or use brown sugar for deeper flavor variations.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
Try stuffing pancakes with chocolate spread or cream cheese for a fun twist.
