How to make cookie butter pancakes

Making pancake batter is very easy and will only take you few minutes. First, mix all the wet ingredients together. Beat egg with milk and add melted butter. Make sure that the butter is not too hot otherwise it may cook the egg.

Add cookie butter, stir until dissolved in milk mixture. Now its time to add our dry ingredients. You can mix them in the separate bowl and add to wet ingredients but i am lazy sometimes and don't like to wash extra dishes.

Just add flour right on top of the wet mixture. Add salt and baking powder on top and carefully stir without contacting wet ingredients. Once done its time to mix everything together and your batter is ready.

Heat oil in the griddle and pour about ½ cup of batter on it. Cook until bubbles start to from and flip. Cook for another 30 seconds.Serve with a drizzle of cookie butter and crushed cookies.

What is cookie butter

Cookie butter is a popular spread that is similar to Nutella. It's sweet, buttery, and creamy. Unlike Nutella, cookie butter is a spread made of Biscoff or speculoos cookies, a Belgian-style cookie.

These spiced cookies are blended with oil, flour, and sugar. It has a very similar texture and consistency to peanut butter, but it's made of cookies! It tastes like cinnamon and gingerbread with hints of caramel.

Spread cookie butter on waffles, toast, or crackers, or served with fresh fruit!

Tips for making the best pancakes

Homemade pancakes are simple and straightforward to make, but here are a few tips to help them turn out amazing every time!

• It's ok if the batter is lumpy. Lumps in the batter help the pancakes turn out light and fluffy. You don't want a smooth batter.
• Don't overmix. Overmixing the batter can lead to tough and flat pancakes, which is not what we want.
• Use a mold or measuring cup. If you prefer uniform pancakes, try using a ½ cup measuring spoon or a silicone mold to pour your batter onto your griddle or skillet.
• Bubbles are good. When you start to see bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, it's time to flip them.
