- 1/3 cup flour (40 g) gf all purpose if desired
- 2 tsp sugar (8 g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt

- drop of water to thin make sure the mixture drizzles
Make your cinnamon swirl, add drop of water at a time until it drizzles, set aside.
In a mug, stir together milk, vanilla. If making buttermilk, add vinegar/lemon juice and let it sit 5 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
Gradually add the liquid while whisking the batter. Thin your batter to your desired thickness, you may not need all of the liquid.
To make a pancake, drop 2-3 tbsp worth batter on a heated nonstick pan. Quickly make a cinnamon swirl with about about 1 tsp drizzle. Cook until bubbles form.
Flip and cook 20-30 more seconds. Don't overcook because your swirl might burn.
Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, crushed walnuts, or anything else you like. Enjoy!
- If using self-rising flour omit the baking powder.
- If not using a non-stick pan, make sure to grease your pan generously!
- Optional hint: Add 1 tsp oil to batter to make the pancakes even fluffier.
