Cinna-Cakes (Short Stack)

Method

Preparation for Short Stack

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. 4

    Cook Cinna-Cakes

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each cake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
