Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the pancake batter.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and sprinkle with the streusel topping. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional fruit.
Notes
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the gluten to relax for fluffier pancakes.
- Preheat the Griddle: Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding batter to achieve a nice golden crust.
- Test for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the pancakes are cooked through; it should come out clean.
- Keep Warm: Place pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add nutmeg or cardamom for a unique flavor twist!
