Cinnamon Vanilla Pancakes

When your loved one writes you a recipe, then by all means, start heating up the pan!
It just so happens that this particular instruction produces the yummiest pancakes ever! So stay off those readily-mixed boxed flour that you just add water to; this is the pancake recipe you won’t want to miss 
I replaced the white sugar with ‘cinnamon sugar’ instead, by the way. You can just imagine the scents coming out of the kitchen right about now, can’t you? Oh and the little specks you see there in the pancake picture below are pure vanilla beans. Absolutely divine!
These pancakes are filling, moist, and dense – makes me wonder what buttermilk will do the recipe, actually! They also have the potential of getting even fluffier if it weren’t for my particular fear of bloating-effects of the baking powder towards my tummy (hehe). Also, I have a habit of patting the pancakes to flatten them out while they’re cooking on the pan… so you can see the thinner edges there. Next time I’ll just leave them alone because these actually remind me of the Japanese dorayaki :p But all in all, the results was a nice little homey breakfast.
Don’t forget the honey/maple syrup!
(and thanks to my husby for the recipe-writing!)

The best recipes are defnitely the handwritten ones
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Pancake mix is definitely something I will never ever buy.

Ditto, Jude
If you saw my mom’s recipe book from ye olde days, u’d probably raise an eyebrow. All those ingredient-splatters, varied writing styles and occassional how-to drawings. But you know what, all 5 sisters and myself each wrote some recipes in there since we were young! That is the best piece of nostalgia indeed ^_^
