Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 teaspoon lemon juice)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for serving

Extra butter, for cooking

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg. Then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix as this can lead to dense pancakes.

        Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to grease the surface.

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

            Serve Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and stack them high. Drizzle generously with warm maple syrup and add an extra pat of butter on top if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately, and enjoy your fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
