Dessert not only comes at the end of a meal, but can as well start it all. The combination of pancakes and a cinnamon roll together is just the perfect comfort meal to start anyone’s day. I’ll be using a zero calorie Lakanto monkfruit sweetener to add a little sweetness to bloom your morning breakfast.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Prep time: 5 mins   Cook time: 24 mins  Total time: 29 mins

Yields: 6 pancakes

Serves: 4 pax

Main Ingredients:

*Pancake batter*

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup buttermilk ( 1/2 cup whole milk + 1 Tbl of white vinegar)
• 2 Tablespoons of Zero calorie Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 egg
• 3 Tablespoons of vegetable cooking oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Extra 1/4 cup of whole milk

*Cinnamon swirl mix*

• 2 Tablespoons of margarine
• 1 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon
• 3 teaspoons of Zero calorie Lakanto monkfruit sweetener.

*Glaze*

• 3 teaspoons of icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• water

*Important tools used*

• Flat chapati pan
• Heat on a stove
• Piping bag
• Heat proof spatula
• Serving plate

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the pancake batter – In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients of: flour + sweetener + salt + nutmeg. Whisk those together. Make a well at the center by pushing the flour mix to the side of the bowl. In goes the buttermilk + 1 egg + veggie oil. Mix that together, if you feel the batter is too thick, add a couple teaspoons of the extra milk until you get the perfect consistency which should be thick but with a flow of ribbons. Set that aside.

Step 2: Prep the cinnamon mix – In a small bowl, add the margarine + cinnamon + sweetener and cream those together until well combined. Add that mixture into a piping bag.

Step 3: Cooking the pancakes – Heat your pan on the stove over medium heat. Drizzle a little cooking oil on the pan, add the pancake batter and spread it out and leave it to cook. Once the bubble start to form, Make a ring form shape just as shown in the video, using the cinnamon mix. Give it 1 min then once the batter has dried out at the top, flip the pancake to cook the other side. Cook each side for at least 2 mins. Repeat the steps for the rest. The sugar will caramelize and create a sweet -crunchy texture to that side of the pancake.

Step 4: Prep the glaze mix – In a small bowl, add the icing sugar + cinnamon + salt and water. Mix those together until you get the consistency you are looking for. It should be slightly runny.

Step 5: Drizzle the glaze and Serve the pancakes while still warm and with a tall glass of warm milk.
