This is Stephanie Manley with copykat.com. I am going to make a recipe for
IHOP's CinnaStax pancakes. This recipe can be found in my book
'Copykat.com's Dining Out in the Home 2.' And, the recipe is available if
you click on the link in the description box. Please be sure to click on
the link in the description box because there is lots of ingredients in
here.
This recipe really has three main steps. If you've had these pancakes
before they're pancakes topped with a layer of brown sugar and cinnamon,
another pancake, a little more brown sugar and cinnamon, and then it's
topped with a cream cheese frosting. This resembles a lot like a cinnamon
roll. Be aware there's a lot going on here. This recipe's a little bit more
complicated than most, but you can follow along with me.
We're going to start out with making the cinnamon layer here. I have a cup
of butter in my bowl that's been softened in the microwave. One cup of
brown sugar. Add a little bit of vanilla. We're going to add a couple of
tablespoons of cake flour. We're doing this to give this a little bit of
body. If you don't have cake flour regular flour is okay. Then, add about a
tablespoon of cinnamon. I'm going to add a pinch of salt here, two pinches.
I'm going to just kind of stir this together to where it's a nice uniform
mixture.
All right. Our next step we're going to do is we're going to make the cream
cheese topping [Inaudible 0:01:58]. All right. Now we're on to our cream
cheese topping. I have half of an eight ounce package of cream cheese in a
bowl that I've kind of let soften as well as half of a stick of butter. So,
it's a quarter cup of butter and four ounces of cream cheese.
I'm just going to mix these together a bit. Then, I'm going to add one cup
of powdered sugar. I'm going to add a little bit of vanilla, a little bit
of flavor. Then, I want just a tablespoon or so of milk, because we want
this to be nice and drizzly. All right, so let me stir this together and
come back and we'll make up those pancakes.
All right. Now we're going to start making those pancakes. You've probably
seen this recipe. It's the same basic IHOP pancake recipe I've been using
for a little bit. It's a little bit of salt, some flour. I have my baking
soda. I'm going to go ahead and add my sugar. I'm going to give this a
quick little stir. I like to make sure all of my dry ingredients are nice
and incorporated and mixed well.
I'm going to add my vegetable oil. I'm going to add one egg. I always like
to crack my eggs in a separate bowl just to make sure I don't get any shell
in there. And, I'm going to add my buttermilk. You only want to stir this
enough to where it's fully blended. We're going to give this a quick little
stir, and then we're going to start making our pancakes.
All right. I'm going to use the grill, minus the cat now, at 350 degrees.
If you don't have one of these you can use a large skillet. Just heat it up
to kind of a medium high temperature. You don't want it on medium. High is
too hot. So, something in between will be perfect.
Put a little bit of nonstick spray in your pan. The next thing I'm going to
do is go ahead and make my pancakes. I'm using a three ounce ladle. If you
have a measuring cup about a half a cup will do. If you like your pancakes
a little bit thinner you can add a little bit of buttermilk to them, a
little extra. It'll help thin them out. I like a little thicker of a
pancake.
We're going to go ahead and cook these. This'll just take a couple of
minutes on each side. Then, we will go ahead and start our CinnaStax.
All right. We've let these pancakes cook for just a couple of minutes. You
can see that they're starting to get nice and dry on the tops and there's
lots of little bubbles. So, it's definitely time to go ahead and flip them
over. Just flip them over. They'll take another minute or so to cook. Then,
we'll get ready to do some more pancakes.
Okay. Now we have made our pancakes. We've made our cinnamon filling. And,
we've made our cream cheese glaze. So, it's time to go ahead and put this
all together. We're going to go ahead and take our topping and spread it
out on the pancake. This is so good. You'll probably have some extra here.
This will go great on some cinnamon toast.
The next thing we're going to do is we're going to stick on another pancake
right here. Then, we are going to add a little bit more of the cinnamon
topping. Then, finally we're going to add our glaze on top. There you go.
We have our IHOP CinnaStax pancakes.
