Steps:
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in the milk, egg, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until only a few lumps remain. Let the batter stand for 5 full minutes for extra fluffiness.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, and brush with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, slowly pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan. Cook until bottom is browned, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until the center of the pancake is set and the other side is browned, about 2 more minutes. Keep warm until serving.

YUMMY APPLE CIDER PANCAKES
I had some cider that was getting sour (hardening?) and I always use powdered milk for cooking and thought why not give it a try? So we had pancakes made with powdered milk and apple cider instead of liquid milk. Surprisingly yummy!

Tips for Making Perfect Pancakes:
- Use fresh ingredients. Stale flour, baking powder, and milk can result in flat, dense pancakes.
- Mix your batter gently. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough pancakes.
- Let your batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and result in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
- Use a hot, lightly greased griddle. A well-seasoned cast iron griddle is ideal for pancakes.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Spread the batter out into a 4-inch circle.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Pancakes are a versatile and delicious breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect pancakes at home. Experiment with different recipes and toppings to find your favorite combination. Whether you like them classic with butter and syrup, or topped with fruit, nuts, or whipped cream, pancakes are sure to be a hit at your next breakfast or brunch.
