Description
Fluffy and sweet Mexican-style pancakes, often infused with vanilla and cinnamon, and served with syrup, cajeta (caramel), or fresh fruit for a comforting breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: cajeta (Mexican caramel sauce), maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined (do not overmix).
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with cajeta, syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter—lumps are fine and make fluffier pancakes.
- Cajeta or condensed milk gives an authentic Mexican touch.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or orange zest for extra flavor.
