These Cinnamon Sugar Pancakes are thin, dainty pancakes. They're stacked with layers of sugary, cinnamony, and walnut-filled mixture. It's a treat that's delicate, absolutely one-of-a-kind, and oh-so-delicious.
Combine ½ cup of the sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside for later.
Pancake Batter
Combine the remaining sugar, butter, and salt. Beat with a mixer until thoroughly combined. Add egg yolks and beat well. Beat in flour. Add milk and vanilla, and beat until well combined.Wash and dry the beaters thoroughly. In another bowl, beat egg whites quickly until soft peaks form (tips will curl).Fold egg whites into the batter, leaving a few puffs of egg white. Do not overbeat.
Make Pancakes
Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across the surface. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover skillet with butter.Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Spread batter into a circle about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Cook over medium-low heat until the pancake side surfaces are bubbly and the edges are slightly dry (about 1 to 3 minutes per side). Repeat with the remaining batter. Make about 16 pancakes.
