Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour and egg in a bowl; add water to achieve desired batter consistency.
- Add cinnamon and sugar to taste, mixing well.
- Pour vegetable oil into a skillet until the bottom is covered and heat until hot.
- Pour pancake batter into the skillet, shaping to desired size.
- Cook until the bottom is browned, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
- Keep oil in the skillet during cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, allow the batter to rest for a few minutes after mixing. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. Adjust cinnamon and sugar to your taste; starting with a teaspoon of each is a good baseline. When cooking, keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning, and use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of fresh fruit for added flavor. They pair beautifully with Southern Biscuits for a hearty breakfast spread. Consider adding a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream on top for extra creaminess and a touch of sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds until warm. For a crisp finish, consider reheating them in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook. Just give it a good stir before using, as it may thicken while sitting.
What can I use instead of vegetable oil?
You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter or coconut oil for a richer flavor. Olive oil is also a viable option, but it may impart a different taste to the pancakes.
How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
Flip the pancakes when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat, depending on your stove. Golden-brown color indicates they are ready to be turned.
