Do your kids love morning pancakes ( or even dinnertime) ?  Pancakes are a fantastic first recipe for little hands to work on- they get to measure, mix, scoop,  pour, shake, and of course eat!  The traditional spicy sweet flavor of Snickerdoodle  cookies makes an equally delicious pancake. Mom did the cooking part this time with the little one standing by while I instructed on kitchen safety. After awhile I will start to let her at least flip the pancakes with supervision and then move to fully cooking after a time. Try this recipe out with your kids, let them practice moving pancake from platter to plate to serve the family for practice.

Snickerdoodle Pancakes

 

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

3 Tbsp. butter, melted

1 egg

1 cup milk

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

¼ tsp. of salt

 

Directions:

In one bowl stir flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl whisk butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

Add flour mixture to wet ingredients a little at a time until well mixed.

Butter pan and heat by 1/4 cup scoops over medium until golden brown- bubbles will begin popping on the top surface.

Flip and cook until other side is brown

For an amazing syrup heat ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 Tbsp. butter, and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a small pan until warmed through.
