  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Cooking

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  • Remove from the skillet and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Best served warm right off the skillet with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. For added luxury, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Drizzling maple syrup or chocolate sauce enhances the flavor.
