Week 26 - Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Pancakes

Halfway there and going strong!  Feels pretty good to pick a project and follow through with it...so far.  26 recipes down, 26 to go and I still have lots of ideas left!

This week it's cinnamon and brown sugar.  A classic combo my husband came up with.  It actually made me think of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which also wouldn't be a bad idea for pancakes, crush up some cereal and sprinkle on top of pancakes once they're on the griddle!  Well these were even simpler; I just made my Perfectly Simple Pancakes and brown sugar and cinnamon and it turned out perfect.  Another 10 in my husband's book!  These also happened to be my daughter's first taste of pancakes, ever, and she seemed to love them too.  It's so nice now that she can eat solid foods and kinda chew them too. Jó étvágyat!

Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 egg, separated
• 2 cup milk or buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cups "Simply Perfect" Pancake Mix (See week 5)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 stick butter, for greasing the pan

Directions

1. Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F.

2. Whisk together the egg whites and the milk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
3. Whisk brown sugar and cinnamon into the pancake mix.

4. Combine the milk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix.  Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.

5. Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.

6. Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)

7. Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle.  When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.

8. Allow to cool slightly and serve with syrup.
