- In another bowl, add 2 cups Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix, 1⅓ cup water, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir or whisk until smooth with no lumps. Do not overmix as this could cause the pancakes to turn out tough/rubbery. Set aside.2 cups Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix, 1⅓ cup water, 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Heat your skillet over medium-low heat and melt enough butter to coat the bottom of the skillet. Allow the skillet to heat for a few minutes. The butter should be melted and bubbly before you add any pancake batter.
- For each pancake, carefully pipe a swirl of cinnamon-flavored batter in the pan. Allow the swirl to cook on medium-low for about 35-45 seconds, or until you see that the edges have set up, the batter no longer looks wet/shiny, and small bubbles have formed on top.
- Use a large spoon to gently cover the entire cinnamon swirl in vanilla pancake batter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges look set, the tops are bubbly, and the underside is golden brown.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the pancake is cooked through and golden brown on the bottom.
