Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional for thinning glaze)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Before flipping, sprinkle a teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top and swirl it gently into the batter with a toothpick or knife.
- Flip and Finish: Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the vanilla yogurt and honey (or maple syrup). If desired, add a little milk to thin it out.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with the vanilla yogurt glaze. Enjoy warm!
