Chai Spiced Pancakes

Fluffy pancakes infused with warm chai spices, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chai spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg).
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm.
  8. Serve warm with maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon sugar on top before serving.
