Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk thoroughly to remove lumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, greasing lightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  7. Immediately sprinkle cooked pancakes with cinnamon sugar topping while warm.
