Pancakes have a rich and varied history that spans cultures and continents. From the simple flatbreads of ancient civilizations to the fluffy stacks we enjoy today, pancakes have evolved significantly over time. In fact, evidence of pancake-like foods can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, where they were made from a mixture of flour and water and cooked on hot stones. These early iterations were often savory, filled with ingredients like cheese or herbs.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (plus more for cooking)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Optional: Fresh fruit (such as sliced bananas or blueberries) for topping

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes.

        Preheat the Griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to grease the surface.

          Cook the Pancakes: Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.

            Flip: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Add fresh fruit on top if desired.

                Enjoy! Serve warm and enjoy your delightful fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes!
