Here are the winners of the KitchenAid mixers.
I can’t thank you all enough for your great feedback; I’ve been reading and taking notes!
Winner #1: Shawn “Tasty Kitchen has been a wonderful resource for finding good recipes to make for our family and for special occasions. It’s very helpful having photos of the recipes for reference. I’m always looking for quick and healthy family meals that everyone in the family will eat.”
Winner #2 Kara: “I heart TK and rely on it more than my cookbooks. If possible, it would be cool if we could have an online recipe box or some way to bookmark. I love the unique names of recipes, but unless you have a better memory than me, they are hard to find again unless you print them right then. An ingredient match would be cool too. Say you enter (chicken, mushrooms, heavy cream) and it matches your ingredients with a recipe that includes those. Hey you said bells and whistles, a girl can dream! Ha, it is already an awesome site!”
Winner #3 Elly: “I am not sure this will help you, but I LOVE the replies from people that have used the recipe and tips given for alternate ways to adjust the recipe. Participation is a great part of this site.”

Here’s a redux of a pancake recipe from last spring. Perfect for Saturday morning!
***********
Here’s what you’ll need. Nothin’ difficult here!
First combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Then whisk it together until totally combined.
Next, combine the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl…
And whisk them together to combine.
Next, combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
Stir gently to combine.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, then smear butter over the surface.
Use a 1/4 cup measure to drop batter onto the skillet.
Cook until you start to see bubbles. Then flip ‘em over and cook on the other side!
Now, we’ll serve this first batch with butter and maple syrup, of course. Of course.
And when I say butter…I mean butter.
And when I say syrup…
I mean syrup, baby.
Okay, that’s the traditional route. You could stop here and be happy forever and ever.
But “happy forever and ever” isn’t enough for me.
In her recipe, sapeylissy suggests serving these pancakes with icing, recreating the true “cinnamon bun” effect. So I decided to whip up a little bit of a butter/syrup icing.
Throw some butter into a bowl…
Melt it for about 30 seconds…
Then dump in some powdered sugar.
Now throw in some maple syrup. Maple extract would be okay, too.
And some milk.
Then just whisk it together until it’s perfectly smooth and combined. You could also warm this up a little bit before serving.
So ideally, one would place the pancakes on a plate and gingerly drizzle this buttery/mapley icing lightly over the top. But I sorta got carried away and poured a whole tankload on there.
Sorry.
Oops! Sorry again.
I don’t know what came over me.
I really loved both approaches—the maple syrup/butter approach AND the icing approach. I think there wouldn’t be anything wrong with serving both.
Thank you to sapeylissy for the yummy recipe!
Here’s the printable for the pancakes:

Yum! Yum! Looks great! Can’t wait to make these!!
Cathy Price on 2.18.2010
This has got to be the best pancake I will ever eat.
Jess on 2.17.2010
My daughter is going to love this. I like the idea of adding cream cheese to the icing-syrup, but, then, I think cream cheese is pretty much required with anything “cinnamon bun”.
Anna on 2.17.2010
Lovely recipe. As an addition, I have a great pancake recipe out of Southern Living. To help make the pancakes fluffier, separate the yolk and the white. Combine the yoke with the wet ingredients and then the dry as normal. The last think you do is whip the egg whites and combine/fold gently into the ingredients. It adds a nice …fluff to the finished pancake.
Ashley on 2.17.2010
I tried these this morning, and thought they were great. I didn’t have maple syrup, so I used vanilla in the icing-syrup instead, and also added a bit of cream cheese. It’s definitely a keeper!
Kim Hopkins on 2.17.2010
I made these last night for supper with sausages….what a hit! Thanks for the great recipe.
gbear on 2.17.2010
oooooh yum-my!! love your blog, Ree. Thanks heaps
Michelle on 2.16.2010
Just had these for dinner and they were the best. The glaze was delicious and we think we’ll be using it more often instead of just syrup. Thanks. My family thinks I’m pretty terrific right now.
Melanie Ann Deland on 2.16.2010
These smelled fabulous. Probably would have tasted fabulous, too, had I read baking powder instead of baking soda. Ah, well, the house smells great now. Try again soon

Whenever I make pumpkin pancakes I serve them with a simple cream cheese icing; bet these would also taste good with it.
Going to make them sometime this week!

I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago for my husband and I. We loved the cinnamon taste. I made Buttermilk Syrup also from Tasty Kitchen which tasted like buttermilk pie and was wonderful. Both are on the list now for the next grandkids visit. They usually request cinnamon rolls or pancakes so this will surely be a hit.
Iris on 2.16.2010
Cinnamon bun pancakes? You just put my two favorite things together! Those look so delicious!
Beverly on 2.16.2010
Three cheers for the Episcopalians and their pancake suppers!
delaine on 2.16.2010
Yay! It’s pancake day! Just made these for the fam. They gave them rave reviews. My son says the icing is good enough to drink! Don’t worry, I didn’t let him. I’m sure they’ll be asking for these again. Good thing I taught my son. We had to make another batch.
Cottage Dreamers on 2.16.2010
Mmm…we just might have pancakes for supper!
Irina on 2.16.2010
Come on now!! Isn’t this, like illegal where you live? I drooled all over me keyboard! Same on you!!
mnsmalltowngal on 2.16.2010
These were every bit as delicious as they looked and sounded! My kids & I gobbled them up with Ree’s Maple Butter Icing. I will definitely make these again… and again… :o)
Thanks for a great recipe, sapeylissy, and thanks for posting it on your site, Ree!
Abby on 2.16.2010
When I saw this recipe and saw that I had all the ingredients for it, I knew instantly that this was what’s for dinner. I don’t know what I did wrong but they didn’t turn out for me. They were falling apart and tasted a little too much like baking powder… I’m wondering now if I accidently put too much of it in.
Susan Barnhouse on 2.16.2010
We have “breakfast for dinner” once a week and these would be divine!!! Can’t wait to make them!
Evelyn on 2.16.2010
Hey, I’m Episcopalian too…so it’s Shrove Tuesday for me too. Wow, they look scrumptious. Gotta try them sometime soon.
Donna on 2.16.2010
Oh my gosh! These sound wonderful, but cooking them, all squished up in a skillet, 3 or 4 at a time is for the birds. Do yourselves a favor and invest in a family-size electric griddle. We love ours, and I can cook 8 of those suckers at a time without batting an eyelash! I originally bought it to use in the RV but moved it into the house; I’m definitely going to buy another one for the RV. Also, get a batter dispenser–they make it so much easier to plop out nice, round, all-the-same-sized pancakes! You can also use it to make funnel cakes if you’re of a mind to…
Ellie on 2.16.2010
I am wondering if these even qualify as dinner…maybe we some crispy bacon you can call it a well rounded meal? YUM! I am in France and will be trying these for sure. Syrup is expensive here, but the glaze will be a great substitute! I love pancake night!
Rebecca on 2.16.2010
YUM! I am making these for dinner tonight. Fat, fat, fat Tuesday!
Heather on 2.16.2010
Thanks for everything! I have never!!! written a comment on a blog! but here in PA we call Shrove Tuesday Faschnacht day. which is homemade doughtnuts. Of course I only have some recipes from “older” ladies who really can never tell me how to do anything! So I loved looking at your doughtnut blog. my recipe is similar! I made 10 DOZEN! Thanks for cooking REAL food which is what I cook for my family. (except for last night my kids had spaghettieos!)
pastormacsann on 2.16.2010
Read this recipe, scrapped lunch plans and made these instead. They were AMAZING! So delicious!
Definitely a keeper!
im723 on 2.16.2010
making pancakes for dinner – these will rock the family right over the edge! add some apple smoked bacon and it will be heavenly
Heather on 2.16.2010
Are these even legal? Surely not!
Ulrike on 2.16.2010
Your timing couldn’t be more perfect! I was thinking about making pancakes for supper, but we’re almost out of syrup. Problem solved!
Lynn on 2.16.2010
OMG!!! You are killing me with these. There goes my weight watchers, right out the window!! I’ve got to make these tonight.
sharon on 2.16.2010
Why can’t every day be Fat Tuesday? I’d definitely want the serving with the tankload, please. Yum!!
carolinagirl on 2.16.2010
Looks like I’m going to have to make these when I make the carrot cake pancakes! Maybe this weekend when my son’s home from college!
monica on 2.16.2010
Oh my! I know what I am making this weekend!!
Shanna Stanaford on 2.16.2010
Now that is the way breakfast should be! Those will keep me from looking like a pig at breakfast with a pancake in one hand and a cinnamon roll in the other *kidding*…kinda.
Seriously, those look easy and yummy. Those are now added to the list of must trys.
Cici on 2.16.2010
These looks absolutely awesome!! But, alas, my husband cannot have sugar – will try to whip them up sugar free and use Agave Nectar instead of the corn syrup. Thank God for sugar free syrup!!
Happy Fat Tuesday!!
Pam on 2.16.2010
I always make my pancakes with cinnamon and vanilla added in. Only we call them “French Toast Pancakes” and my kids love them.
I’ve never tried them with the glaze though. That sounds very good!
ninaterheyden on 2.16.2010
Ohhhhhhh my! I’m drooling….I mean seriously drooling! That is my one major weakness……..cinnamon buns….but now in pancakes….still drooling!
Donna on 2.16.2010
Oh Meeeooo Oh MyOOOO Those do look mighty good!
kristan Roland on 2.16.2010
I can’t wait to make these!!! Dinner for sure, I am not wasting these babies on breakfast!!
Cherie on 2.16.2010
Oh my! I think I’ll have to try theses!!
Wendy Darling on 2.16.2010
the pancakes we have tonight at our church wont quite be this swoon-worthy! I’ll have to keep this in mind for after Easter =)
Crystal on 2.16.2010
Oh, man! I’ll be extending the celebrate my husband celebration through this weekend … These are possibly too easy, though — at least regular cinnamon rolls take enough effort and planning that I can’t surprise my sweetie and up my dress size with ‘em on a whim …
debdaamazon on 2.16.2010
Oh, Ree….these look awesome! I’ll bet that the frosting you use on your cinnamon rolls with the coffee/maple flavor w0uld really rock these out of the park! Thanks for posting the step-by-step, and thank you, sapeylissy, for the original recipe.
gingela5 on 2.16.2010
OH wow…those look delicious. Will be trying them this weekend! Thanks!
Rhonda on 2.16.2010
And Happy Pancake Day to you too!
