Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or oil
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pancake cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish, then carefully remove it from the dish and transfer it to a cutting board.
Use a sharp knife to cut the pancake into 1-inch cubes.
Serve warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
