Hangover Breakfast Goals: Malted Milk Glaze Pancakes

Are you tired of the same old boring breakfast routine? Look no further! These “Cap’n Drunk Pancakes” with a malted milk glaze from The Culinary Bro-Down cookbook are the perfect hangover breakfast treat.

The Magic of Malted Milk Powder

Malted milk powder adds a rich, earthy flavor and a hint of creaminess to these pancakes. Traditionally used in shakes and soda fountain drinks, you can also experiment with adding it to other baked goods, icings, and frostings for an extra dimension of flavor.

Pancake Ingredients

For the pancakes, you’ll need:

• 4 cups of nondescriptly flavored golden square breakfast cereal (think Cap’n Crunch!)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 can light beer
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for cooking

Glaze Ingredients

For the glaze, you’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons malted milk powder (or powdered milk as a substitute)

Instructions

To make the pancakes:

1. Process the breakfast cereal and flour in a food processor until the cereal is finely ground.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, milk, egg, and melted butter.
3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
4. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, add a teaspoon of butter, and pour in about 1/2 cup of batter.
5. Cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown.
6. Repeat until all the batter is used.

To make the glaze:

1. Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepot over medium-low heat.
2. Whisk in the powdered sugar and malt powder.
3. Whisk for 15 seconds, then turn off the heat.
