- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Remove from skillet and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
