There is a reason I have a *lot* of cinnamon recipes on my site. That is because a certain fiance of mine would pick a cinnamon-themed recipe over any other recipe I can dream up. He will readily admit this, so I don’t feel too bad putting it on the internet. Maybe some of you have significant others who are similarly cinnamon-obsessed.
So, for instance, if you happen to be making brunch for your darling fiance, you might think, “he’d really like chocolate chip pancakes.” (YUM!)
No, apparently, he would not. He would like cinnamon pancakes. Not chocolate chip pancakes, not blueberry pancakes, not apple, banana or pumpkin pancakes. Cinnamon pancakes.
So here they are, and maybe he was right, because they were good. One thing I have learned the hard way about pancakes: low, low, low heat. And, I mean, duh, right? Who wants a seared pancake? But my first pancake, cooked on medium heat, was raw in the middle and burned on the outside. (Sigh). By the third pancake, I was using the lowest heat setting my oven has — and, unfortunately, it has gas burners, so I often have trouble getting the heat low enough, but I think it worked fine here.
These turned out really well. They were fluffy, yummy, and gone in about fifteen minutes — and that’s pretty much as good as it gets. So if you know anyone who’s even remotely fond of cinnamon, I thoroughly recommend this recipe.
Cinnamon Pancakes
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup whole milk
1 cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp butter, melted
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
2. Heat a frying pan or skillet on the stovetop. Spray with cooking spray or grease with a little extra butter. Ladle out 1/4 cup of pancake batter at a time, and cook about 1 min on each side, flipping each pancake midway through. Repeat about eight times, until batter is gone.
5. Serve with maple syrup, honey or extra butter. Enjoy!
Makes about 6 large pancakes.

How about cinnamon-chocolate pancakes?
11 Kitt // Jul 24, 2008 at 8:09 pm
How pretty and delicious!
I finally used the Haagen-Dazs certificate you sent. It worked out perfectly because I made my own vanilla honey ice cream using goat’s milk, and I wanted to do a taste comparison with commercial ice cream.
The Haagen Dazs is quite yummy! The homemade is even yummier!
I posted some pictures here.
Thanks again!

Yum! I love cinnamon, too. I think that cinnamon BLUEBERRY would be divine! My dad is an expert pancake maker and they way he does it to ensure a good pancake is to 1 - be sure the pan is hot enough…test the pan by flicking some water on it. If it sizzles…it’s ready. 2 - Put the batter on the pan. When the edges look a bit set and the top of the pancake has bubbles all over it, flip. 3 - only do the other side a little bit…30 sec-1 min. Mmm! I find this is “easier” than just timing it. These look great no matter how you decide to cook it!

your fiance and i would get along fine–i’m fully devoted to cinnamon and prefer cinnamon pancakes above all others. these sound sensational.
oh, and i’m pretty sure the first pancake never works out–i’ve taken to calling it the sacrificial pancake.

Donald over at Mr. Orph’s keep talking about you, so I decided to come back.
Love the ‘cakes. One of my fave bfast food… I just don’t like cooking for myself and making only two would be such a shame!
Nice work.

Hi
I would like to know if I can replace the milk with buttermilk and do I have to add baking soda, if so how much baking soda.
26 katy // Aug 8, 2008 at 11:06 am
Jackie — You can definitely use buttermilk! Replace 1/2 tsp of baking powder with baking soda, so use 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
BTW, everyone, the comment from “Iorek” was my crazy fiance, who has just finished reading The Golden Compass. He gets mad when I delete his comments, even if they’re nuts. So I left this one up.
