Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease the inside of four 8-ounce Mason jars with cooking spray or butter.
- Place the Mason jars on the griddle or skillet. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each jar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
- Using oven mitts or a towel to protect your hands, carefully flip the jars upside down onto the griddle or skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the jars and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
