Ingredients
Scale
For the streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For serving:
- maple syrup
- powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Make the pancake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons of the streusel mixture over the top before the surface sets. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter and streusel.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, drizzle pancakes with a cream cheese glaze.
- The streusel can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- These pancakes freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster oven.
