Decadent Creme Brulee Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Creme Brulee Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by whisking together the egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a tablespoon of white sugar in a mixing bowl until everything is well combined. Then, gently stir in the milk and heavy cream, creating a rich and creamy mixture that will be the base of your pancakes.

2. Step 2

   In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This step is crucial as it helps to aerate the flour, ensuring your pancakes are light and fluffy. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Don't overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s prepare the cinnamon sugar topping. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of white sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. This sweet blend will add a delightful crunch to your pancakes.

4. Step 4

   Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt about a teaspoon of butter. Once the butter is sizzling, scoop approximately three tablespoons of the pancake batter and pour it into the skillet. Immediately sprinkle about two teaspoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the pancake.

5. Step 5

   Cook the pancake for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancake over onto the sugared side and cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the cinnamon sugar to melt into a delicious crust. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar, making sure to keep the pancakes separate as they cool to maintain that crispy topping.

6. Step 6

   Once all the pancakes are cooked, let them cool slightly on a wire rack. This will help keep the sugar crust intact, ensuring each bite is a perfect blend of fluffy pancake and crunchy sweetness.
