Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | 8 pancakes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free All-Purpose Baking Mix (if you are not gluten-free, use your favorite pancake mix.)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon water

 DIRECTIONS:

• Add one teaspoon of sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk remaining sugar and baking mix together in a medium bowl. 
• Add egg, butter, milk, and vanilla, and blend well. 
• Let batter rest for 10 minutes so the baking mix thoroughly hydrates and the batter thickens. 
• Scoop a level 1/4 cup of batter and place in a small bowl. 
• Add water and reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture and blend well. 
• Push cinnamon batter through a fine sieve to smooth out lumps.
• Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a small round tip or use a squeeze bottle.  
• Preheat a greased griddle. Spoon the batter onto the griddle, spreading it into even circles with the back of the spoon. 
• Pipe spirals of cinnamon batter on top of each pancake. Cook pancakes until the edges look dry and the top is no longer glossy. They should be golden brown. 
• Flip pancakes and cook another minute or until cooked through. 
• Serve with your favorite toppings or try the Cream Cheese Icing Syrup recipe.

Cream Cheese Icing Syrup:
