Ingredients

• Batter:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Topping:
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 (7 ounce) can whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. Combine flour, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
2. Combine buttermilk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Beat to break up the egg. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until batter is foamy and just combined.
3. Whisk white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl.
4. Heat a large non-stick griddle over medium-low heat. Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. Brush pancakes with the 5 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with whipped cream.
