French Toast Pancakes
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 1 ⅓ cups |
| Sugar | ¼ cup |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 ½ teaspoons |
| Baking powder | 1 ¼ teaspoons |
| Baking soda | ½ teaspoon |
| Eggs | 2 large |
| Milk | ⅔ cup (skim, 2%, or whole) |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Butter | 2 tablespoons (for cooking) |
| Cinnamon sugar | For topping (optional) |
| Maple syrup | For serving |
How to Make French Toast Pancakes:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes light and fluffy—avoid overmixing.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve these warm with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup for the perfect finishing touch. They’re light, flavorful, and guaranteed to become a new favorite at the breakfast table.
