Snickerdoodle Pancakes

One of my favorite breakfast foods is pancakes and my favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle. So why not combine them to make a snickerdoodle pancake?! 

These pancakes are absolutely perfect and the little cinnamon-sugar dusting over the top gives it the perfect crunch that emulates a snickerdoodle cookie. 

ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• maple syrup, for serving
• cinnamon and granulated sugar, for serving

instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture a little a time until it is well combined, but not overmixed. 
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat or a griddle, butter the pan, and scoop pancakes to your liking. I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the top surface, flip, and cook for a couple of minutes until cooked through. 
3. Remove to a clean plate and repeat with remaining batter. 
4. To serve, sprinkle the tops of the pancake with cinnamon and granulated sugar, then drizzle with warmed maple syrup.
