Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Once the batter is combined, gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. To test if the skillet is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the skillet is hot enough.
- Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Make sure to leave enough space between each pancake to allow for spreading.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Check the bottom for a golden-brown color before flipping.
- Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the cinnamon raisin bread pancakes warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter! Lumpy batter is your friend - it ensures tender, fluffy pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking to help the flour absorb the liquid.
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and more even cooking.
- For extra flavor, try soaking the raisins in warm water or rum for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter.
- Keep your pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while cooking the entire batch to ensure everyone gets hot pancakes simultaneously.
- For a crispy exterior, use a cast-iron skillet or griddle if you have one.
- Experiment with toppings like cream cheese glaze, additional cinnamon, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
