Oh my goodness, this is the copycat recipe from Snooze.  They are so delicious, I've made them two times for guests and everyone loved.  Must make!

    1. I think it is probably better with the regular sugar because it is heated together. Confectioner’s sugar has cornstarch added which I know gets weird about heating (and in my opinion, tastes funnier than pure sugar like if you powder your own, which is a magical skill I don’t have). The granules melt in the heat and form a syrup that blend with the cream. Ideally, anyway. If you have a finer sugar like caster or baker’s you could use that, too. It would likely work the same.

  3. I have been craving Snooze nonstop since I moved from San Diego, where I lived 1.5 blocks away and used to work across the street. I ate there all the time, both on days off and at my lunch break on weekends, when I would get the a single pancake. Even when I dined in, I would either get the combo, or add-on a pancake to my choice. This recipe looks perfect for the pineapple upside-down pancake. The hardest part will be getting all the pieces finished together! but pineapple is on sale this week so I can’t wait.

  4. OMG... I am so happy to have found this recipe. I used to work at Snooze in San Diego and after leaving there crave these pancakes all the time. Living on the east coast now I thought I was never going to be able to experience the deliciousness of this combination. Thank you!!!

  6. Omg! So yummy. The vanilla cream didn't thicken too much for me but it still was perfect over the pancakes. Next time we'll make the cinnamon butter. I just was hungry and didn't want to wait ha. Saving this for the near future!
