Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and sugar into a mixing bowl.
- Beat together egg yolks and milk until well combined.
- Add vegetable oil to the egg yolk mixture while mixing, then pour all at once into the dry ingredients and stir just until smooth.
- Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter gently until combined.
Tips & Substitutions
For lighter pancakes, ensure your egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter to maintain airiness. If you don't have baking powder, you can substitute with baking soda (1 teaspoon) and an acid like vinegar or lemon juice (1 tablespoon). For a twist, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of blueberries. This recipe complements American recipes perfectly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cinnamon pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit or a side of crispy bacon. For a complete breakfast experience, consider serving alongside Best Ever Sweet Potatoes for a delightful contrast of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 20-30 seconds, but they may lose some crispness. For best results, serve them fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. However, for the best texture, it's recommended to fold in the egg whites just before cooking to maintain fluffiness. Allow the batter to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
What can I use instead of flour?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that is designed for baking. Alternatively, you can use almond flour or oat flour, but keep in mind that this may alter the texture and flavor slightly.
How do I know when the pancakes are done?
Pancakes are ready to flip when small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Avoid pressing down on the pancakes while cooking to keep them fluffy and airy.
