- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 egg yolk

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions
- Make the Custard: In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Add the egg yolk and stir continuously until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let cool.
- Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter, then add a spoonful of custard in the center. Cover with more batter. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush pancakes with melted butter and coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use warm custard for easier stuffing.
- Let pancakes cool slightly before coating to prevent sogginess.
