Because, let’s be honest, all of us have had cookies for breakfast at some point throughout our lives. We might as well have pancakes on the breakfast menu too while we’re at it.

These lil pancake gems that sit before you today are quite honestly my favorite breakfast experience in awhile. Picture a soft and fluffy buttermilk pancake cooked in buttery cinnamon sugar that forms a lovely crust so you get both the fluffiness from the pancake inside and a little sugary crunch on the outside.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

  1. Spoon and level flour – I use the spoon-and-level technique for measuring flour as this will prevent over-measuring your flour. Use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup, then level with the back of a knife.
  2. Allow melted butter to cool – wait for the butter to cool before mixing with the other ingredients to prevent curdling.
  3. Gently fold batter – use a light hand when mixing batter to prevent overmixing.
  4. Use real buttermilk – this gives the pancakes a rich and tangy flavor.
  5. Sprinkle batter with cinnamon sugar during cooking – this will caramelize the sugar and give the pancakes a lovely snickerdoodle flavor.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these pancakes.

  • Add fruit – fold 3/4 cup diced strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries into batter.
  • Make it chocolate – fold 1/2 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips into batter.
  • Add more spices to cinnamon sugar – try adding a pinch of ground nutmeg, cloves, ginger, or allspice to the cinnamon sugar.

Instructions
