Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make Lotus Biscoff Pancakes:

Prepare the Pancake Batter:

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, Lotus Biscoff cookie spread, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.

Cook the Pancakes:

Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Assemble and Serve:

Assemble the Pancakes: Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with warmed Lotus Biscoff cookie spread, and sprinkle with crumbled Lotus Biscoff cookies.
Garnish and Serve: Add fresh berries or whipped cream for extra flavor and presentation, if desired. Serve immediately.

How to Serve

With Fresh Berries: Top with fresh strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for a burst of freshness and color.
With Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence.
For a Dessert: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special dessert treat.
With Maple Syrup: Drizzle with maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
Perfect for Special Occasions: Great for brunch gatherings, birthdays, or special mornings.

Additional Tips
