Total Time: 25 MINUTES   

Servings: 4 SERVINGS 

Ingredients 

  • ¾ cup milk 

  • 1 ½ tablespoons vinegar 

  • 1 cup flour 

  • 3 tablespoons sugar 

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon - (if you really love cinnamon, you can add another ½ teaspoon) 

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder 

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 

  • ½ teaspoon salt 

  • 1 egg 

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • ⅓ cup maple syrup 

Instructions 

  • Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat (275 degrees). 

  • Whisk together the milk and vinegar and allow to rest for 5 minutes. 

  • While milk is curdling, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. 

  • Whisk egg and oil into milk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined (don't over-mix, it should still have some lumps). 

  • Spray skillet with cooking spray. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter onto skillet. Cook about 2 minutes until bubbles form and the edges start to look "dry". Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Set pancakes aside and repeat with remaining batter.
