Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

1. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
2. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
3. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top and the edges begin to set.
