These vanilla pancakes are my favorite breakfast recipe. Over time I tweaked a recipe I found until I got it just right. It makes fluffy pancakes with a little extra flavor from vanilla and cinnamon. These pancakes are especially good with your favorite berry syrup.

Stages of cooking
-
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in milk, beaten egg, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and vanilla until only a few lumps remain. Let batter stand for 5 full minutes for extra fluffiness.
-
Heat a griddle over medium heat and brush with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. When oil shimmers, slowly pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
