Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are normal.
Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken and help create extra fluffy pancakes.
Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip once and continue cooking until golden.
Serve Warm: Add your favorite toppings and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter—this keeps pancakes soft and fluffy.
Use fresh baking powder for maximum rise.
Letting the batter rest creates perfectly light pancakes.
Use medium heat to prevent burning.
Flip only once for best fluffiness.
Try buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra lift.
Pancakes reheat well—store leftovers for up to 3 days.
