Ingredients
For The Pancakes
- 1 flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal crushed
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- scant 1/4 cup maple syrup
For The Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry pancake ingredients- the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly combined.
- Add the crushed cereal too the mix, and stir to combine. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Whisk together to combine.
- Slowly add the flour mixture in to the wet ingredients, stirring in after each addition. Continue, just until all of the flour's incorporated without over-mixing.
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add 1/4 cup of the pancake batter to it. Cook the pancake for about 2 minutes, flipping and cooking the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes- or until both sides are a nice golden brown and the pancake has puffed.
- Remove the finished pancake to a waiting plate, and repeat until all the batter's used.
To Make The Glaze
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk all of the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
- Stack several pancakes, and pour some glaze over them just before serving.
Notes
If your glaze hardens before you're ready to serve, simply add in a tiny bit more milk and whisk again to recombine.
Pancakes can be topped with extra crushed/crumbled cereal, if desired.
Want an even sweeter finish? Substitute maple syrup for the vanilla extract in the glaze and add a sprinkle of cinnamon too.
