Jess Cooks- Cinnamon Bun Pancakes!

This morning I was up at 6.
I spent some time outdoors, breathing in the glorious summer morning.
Enjoyed some quiet time for thoughts.
Fed and stroked the cat; listened to the purring.
Slapped at a few mosquitoes.
Slapped at a few more.
Headed back inside.


Once inside, I cooked up a wonderful breakfast for the family.
Normally, this is something I would save for a special fall or winter morn.
But this recipe was calling to me.

I thought of this great old cartoon:

I could already imagine the fragrance of this breakfast winding its way downstairs and throughout the house; finding the snoozing children and teasing their noses awake.

I'm happy to say it worked!
Okay, maybe I had to prod a few of the bodies and call them by name before they actually rolled out of bed.  But, they were happy once they were up.  
And that's always a good thing.

Here is the recipe:

• 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
• 3 Tablespoons White Sugar
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
• 2 whole Eggs Beaten
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Corn Syrup ( I used regular pancake syrup)
• ¼ cups Butter, Melted
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Preparation Instructions

In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon with a whisk. Whisk well to make sure everything is combined.

In separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syurp, butter and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium/low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Brown on both sides.

Serve warm with icing drizzled over the top.

*My icing was a simple mixture of a little melted butter, powdered sugar, milk and maple extract.  (To go with the pancake theme)
