Preparation Steps
  1. Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
