Vietnamese Coffee Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter

I know what we need. 

Well, I know what we need this Monday AM. 


How about a spring break trip to Cancun? Just kidding. For a split second going to Cancun sounds like a great idea. The sun. The beach. The free booze. BUT. Once I stop and replay all the sh$ that went down while on college spring break, I’m like, “How the hell did we survive? 

Vietnamese Coffee Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter

Fast forward twenty years and for spring break all I want to do is take some fresh turns down a snowy mountain. Make an ultimate apre ski charcuterie spread. Catch up with my friends and get a massage. BASIC AF. And that’s okay. If I still wanted to go to Cancun and enter a Senior Frogs wet t-shirt contest, I’d hope you would have an intervention.

Okay, where was I? Oh, yes. Accessing needs on this Monday AM. 
Here’s exactly what we need: 1) a jug of coffee, 2) a stack of delicious, fluffy Vietnamese Coffee Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter. I realize pancakes are generally reserved for weekend mornings, but sometimes a girl just needs a stack. Ya, feel me? 

Have you ever had Vietnamese Coffee? It’s pretty simple to make. Brew a cup of Vietnamese ground coffee (or you can use your favorite kind of coffee) and mix in sweetened condensed milk. Easy peasy. Serve it warm or chilled, but I definitely recommend it in a pancake form.

Take your standard pancake batter mix and add in brewed coffee and sweetened condensed milk. Super easy! Make extra because these bad boys will go fast!
