Notes

Pancakes are best served warm. You can stack them high on a plate, drizzle the cream cheese icing on top, and add extra toppings like maple syrup, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit for added flavor. Do not overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture. Use a non-stick skillet or perfectly heated cast iron for easier flipping. Keep pancakes warm in the oven until you’re ready to serve. Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar according to your taste.
