Cappuccino Pancakes with Mocha Syrup

Yields 4-6 servings

Ingredients of Cappuccino Pancakes

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 1/2 tablespoons espresso powder (or finely ground instant coffee)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions of Cappuccino Pancakes with Mocha Syrup

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, espresso powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg, milk, and melted butter. Stir together until combined (a few lumps are okay).

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a heated griddle and cook each side until lightly browned. Serve hot with whipped cream and mocha syrup (below).

Mocha Syrup

1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee (or 1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder dissolved in 1/2 cup water)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a small saucepan, whisk together coffee, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir until syrup begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. May be served warm or chilled (and is especially delicious on top of ice cream).
