What You’ll Need: Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor
Let’s break it down. You probably have most of these in your pantry already:
For the Pancakes:
- ¾ cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar (hello, buttermilk hack!)
- 1 cup flour (all-purpose works wonders)
- 2 tbsp sugar (keep it sweet and simple)
- ½ tsp baking soda + 1 tsp baking powder (the fluff duo)
- ½ tsp salt (balance is key)
- 1 egg + 2 tbsp melted butter (bind that batter!)
For the Swirl:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar (the secret to that caramelized kick)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (because duh )
- 1 tbsp flour (to thicken the magic)
Let’s Get Flipping: Step-by-Step

- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, toss flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet + Dry: Stir the egg and melted butter into the milk, then mix into dry ingredients. Lumpy? Perfect!
- Swirl Time: In a separate bowl, mix swirl ingredients. Pour into a ziplock bag, snip the corner, and get ready to drizzle.
