Ingredients
For the Pancakes:

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
For the Cinnamon Butter:
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Topping:

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. (Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes airy.)
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Prepare Cinnamon Butter
- In a small bowl, blend softened butter, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 4: Plate and Serve
- Stack the pancakes high on a plate.
- Add a dollop of cinnamon butter on top of the warm pancakes.
- Drizzle generously with maple syrup.
Tips for Success
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
- Enhance Flavor: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
- Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes in a warm oven to keep them hot while you finish cooking the batch.
