- Why did the pancake stick?
- The pan wasn't hot enough, or there wasn't enough fat. The first pancake is often a sacrifice.
- Why is the batter rubbery?
- You overmixed it after adding the flour. Only mix until lumps disappear!
- Can I store the batter?
- Yes, it keeps in the fridge for 1 day, but stir before frying as flour settles.
Fluffy cinnamon pancakes
This recipe is the lovechild of the American-style pancake and the classic thin crêpe. The cinnamon mixed into the batter caramelises during frying, so every disc is delicious on its own, even without filling. Thicker than a Hungarian pancake, but softer and more elastic.

Instructions
1
✓
Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Tip: Mixing dry ingredients ensures cinnamon and salt are in every bite.
2
✓
Whisk the eggs with the milk, then pour into the flour mixture. Whisk until lump-free.
Tip: Use a whisk. If very thick, add a tiny bit more milk.
3
✓
Drizzle in the lukewarm melted butter and mix.
Tip: Butter mixed into the batter means you barely need fat for frying.
4
✓
Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
Tip: This resting allows flour particles to absorb moisture (hydration), making the batter silkier.
5
✓
Heat up the pan, brush lightly with oil (using a brush or kitchen paper).
Tip: The pan is ready if a water droplet flicked onto it "dances" on the surface (Leidenfrost effect).
6
✓
Fry medium-thickness pancakes. When the top starts to look matte and bubbles appear, flip it over.
Tip: Golden brown colour indicates sugar caramelisation.
7
✓
Serve dusted with icing sugar.
Tip: Also excellent with maple syrup!
