how to make Cookie butter pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cookie butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, cookie butter, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with additional cookie butter sauce drizzled on top.
