One Pan Cinnamon Sugar Pancakes

There is something about making breakfast on Sunday mornings.  We are pretty early risers, so even though we are going to head out to church, we usually have a pretty relaxed routine on Sunday mornings, and it just always seems like the right time to make breakfast.  These are the same idea as making your cookies in bar form.  Instead of standing and flipping multiples, you just make one pan, make some sausage (please make some sausage), then sit down, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy your morning!

I try to make this a two bowl dish.  Doing a ton of dishes in the morning is not my idea of a good time.  This fed my family of four, with a little bit leftover for breakfast the next day, so if you are making for a croud, you probably want to double or triple this depending on your numbers.

Pancake Batter: 

1 1/2 Cups Milk

4 Tbsp Melted Butter

2 large Eggs 

2 Cups Flour 

4 tsp. Baking Powder 

1/2 tsp. Salt

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

4 Tbsp Melted Butter 

3/4 Cup Brown Sugar 

2 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease or butter a large rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan.

You will need one stick of butter melted so just go ahead and throw it in a bowl and microwave it in 30 second intervals until melted.  Once melted, separate out the 4 Tbsp. that you need for the pancakes into a larger bowl and add your milk and eggs.  Stir together until combined.

Add your flour, baking powder, and salt, to the bowl with the butter/egg/milk mixture and  mix until there are no lumps.  Pour into the jelly roll pan.  

In the bowl with the reserved butter, add the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix it well with a fork or whisk.  

Drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the batter.  Now, you can get fancy here if you like and make whichever pattern you like.  I personally, have no artistic talent when it come to these things, so I drizzled 4 lines vertically, and 3 lines horizontally and then ran a butter knife through the batter and swirl a couple of times to make sure it was distributed.  

Bake for 7-8 minutes until it is set, it will not really brown up or get golden.  Remove from the oven, slice it up and serve with your usual pancake fixings.
