Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or additional butter (for greasing the griddle)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.
Once the griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each griddle cake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into circles if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the cakes and the edges look set. Flip the cakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked griddle cakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the griddle as needed between batches.
Serve the cinnamon griddle cakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
