Cinnamon Bun Pancakes // the recipe

Posted on: December 12th, 2012 by Hannah Beasley 8 Comments

These. Are. So. Good. Seriously, cinnamon buns as pancakes? I think so. They’re chock-full of cinnamon, maple flavoring, and almond; and instead of using syrup you top them with powdered sugar glaze.

THE INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups flour 3 Tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 Tablespoon cinnamon 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk 2 Tablespoons maple syrup (or 1/2 Tbs. maple flavoring + 1 1/2 Tbs. milk) 1/4 cup melted butter 1 Tablespoon vanilla THE INSTRUCTIONS Combine…

Giving Thanks (because you don’t just have to do it on Thanksgiving)

It will always continue on, whether we will it to or not. So don’t let time pass you by. Don’t miss this beautiful thing called life. Each moment is a gift, a treasure, a miracle; seize each one and remember them. One day you’ll look back with…

There is magic in the world – there is a place and a time where the fairies come out and dance in the liquid gold that spreads across the sky and land like a fine mist.
