1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tbsp white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 whole eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tbsp corn syrup
1/4 cups butter, melted
1 tbsp vanilla
1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon with a whisk. Whisk well to make sure everything is combined.
2. In a separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Brown on both sides.
4. Serve warm with icing drizzled over the top.
There was no icing recipe with this recipe, however, the recipe does say that you can use syrup or just mix powdered sugar and milk until you reach the desired consistency. I wanted something a little more cinnamon roll icing like, so I improvised a recipe that I use for maple cinnamon roll frosting. However, the bad thing about this was, that I cut a recipe down significantly, because the recipe makes enough icing to frost 7 dozen cinnamon rolls. So you can use this recipe
1/2 pound powdered sugar
1/8 cup milk
1 1/2 tbsp melted butter
1/16 cup strongly brewed coffee
half of a dash of salt
1/4 tbsp maple extract
1. In a large bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee, and salt. Add in the maple flavoring. Whisk until smooth. Taste and add in more maple, sugar, butter or other ingredients as needed until the icing reaches desired consistency. In order for the best results on the pancakes, the icing should be thick, but still pourable.
I was really surprised by this recipe. It wasn't what I was expecting in all. Cinnamon bun is exactly right. With the icing used as syrup, these taste just like an old fashioned cinnamon role. They are fairly easy to make, and they are very filling. They were good leftover, a little drier than I would have cared for, but still very good. It's definitely something that I would make again. They are fancy enough for a special breakfast, yet simple enough for an everyday meal.
