Saltine Cracker Pancakes

01Method

1. 1

   Place the crushed crackers in a large bowl and pour the milk over them, adding just enough so the liquid reaches the top of the crackers. Let the mixture rest until the crackers are thoroughly softened and have soaked up the milk, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Mix in the egg, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and melted butter until combined.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Working in batches, spoon roughly ⅓ cup of the cracker batter per pancake into the pan and press down gently to flatten. Cook without moving until the edges are golden brown, then flip and continue cooking until the other side is browned and cooked through.

4. 4

   Transfer to plates and top with additional butter if desired, a drizzle of syrup, and fresh berries as an optional garnish.
