    Best Ever Pancakes with Honey Cinnamon Syrup | Buy This Cook That

    Think outside the box people. The pancake box. I know, I know, it is just so easy to grab that box and add water, and we will never judge you for the shortcut. We get it. But it is so easy to make the best pancake recipe ever using simple pantry basics. These homemade pancakes come out light and fluffy, buttery and crispy on the edges, and just the right amount of sweet.

    Your family will know the difference. Especially when you make them extra special with our Honey Cinnamon Syrup.

    Best Ever Pancakes with Honey Cinnamon Syrup

     

    The BEST Pancake Recipe with Honey Cinnamon Syrup

    Start by combining your dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

     


    Basic pantry ingredients are used to make The Best Pancake Recipe with Honey Cinnamon Syrup

     

    In a small bowl, beat the eggs separately. Add eggs and melted butter to the milk and vanilla. Then slowly add it to the dry mixture.

    Stir by hand to combine but do not overwork the batter. Do not use a hand mixer. Doing so will make your cakes tough. This is one of the secrets to tender pancakes...just mix until just combined. Lumps are totally ok, and actually are good.

    Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. This gives the baking powder time to bubble up, which gives you that perfect pancake texture.

    Heat oil to medium high in a large non stick skillet or griddle. Make sure your oil is hot.  If you cook pancake batter in oil that is not hot enough, the cakes will absorb the oil and they will be greasy.  (I always test my oil by adding a drop of water to it. If it spits and sputters and pops, the oil is ready.)

    Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Watch carefully, and flip when the cake is bubbly and the edges start to turn brown. This will take about 2 (ish). Flip, cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.

    Continue until all batter is gone. This recipe makes about 18 pancakes.

    If you have any leftovers, wrap in wax paper and store in freezer in a freezer safe bag. Reheat in the toaster or microwave for busy weekday mornings. IF you have any leftover.

    For the syrup, combine syrup, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon and butter. Microwave in 15-second increments until butter melts. Stir after every 15 seconds.
