Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all your ingredients carefully to ensure smooth cooking. Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon until evenly combined to distribute the flavors.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
  4. Blend Together: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mix, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Cook in Skillet: Preheat a buttered non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour in the batter, and cook until the edges firm up and bubbles form on top, about 6-8 minutes.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the flat cake using a spatula and cook the other side until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes more.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain tenderness.
  • Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for easy flipping.
  • Let the cake rest briefly after cooking to firm up before serving.
