Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Serving
- 1/2 cup melted Biscoff cookie butter
- Fresh fruits (optional)
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar until fully blended to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave using 20-second intervals until completely liquified, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the bowl containing the dry ingredients, stirring gently to start combining the wet and dry components.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, vanilla extract, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of Biscoff cookie butter to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Prepare Skillet: Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with non-stick cooking spray or additional butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour it onto the heated skillet, spacing pancakes adequately for flipping. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Melt Topping: While pancakes cook, melt 1/2 cup of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave until smooth and pourable, which will be used as a luscious topping.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle generously with melted Biscoff cookie butter, and optionally garnish with fresh fruits for a vibrant finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh buttermilk for best flavor and texture; alternatively, mix 1 1/2 cups milk with 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes.
- If you do not have Biscoff cookie butter, speculoos spread or any spiced caramel cookie spread can be a substitute.
- To keep pancakes warm while cooking batches, place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven set to 200°F (93°C).
- Adding fresh fruits like berries or banana slices complements the rich flavor of Biscoff and adds freshness.
- Non-stick spray or butter are both effective for greasing the skillet; avoid too much oil to keep pancakes light.
