Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all the ingredients in one place.
Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well-blended.

Combine Mixtures

Cook Pancakes
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

Notes

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, place a damp paper towel over pancakes in the microwave to keep them moist.
