Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk preferred)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, additional cinnamon

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine!

        Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

          Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown.

            Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a warm plate or in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates and serve warm with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon for that extra touch.
