Snickerdoodle. Pancakes. Have you ever heard of anything more glorious?
It’s as if a snickerdoodle cookie and a luscious hot ‘cake had a baby, which is basically like heaven on a plate.
This bad boy has the perfect level of cinnamon-i-ness and is surprisingly not that sweet. Well, it isn’t that sweet until, well… you put the cinnamon sugar topping AND maple syrup over the top.
If you aren’t into all of the over-the-top sweetness, just omit the topping and you will still be eating a perfectly perfect pancake.
