Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you get a smooth batter.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
2. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
3. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Transfer to a plate and repeat for the remaining batter.

Step 3: Make the Honey Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter and honey until smooth.
2. Add cinnamon if you like extra flavor.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and spread the honey butter over the top.

Tips for the Best Pancakes:

• Don’t overmix the batter; lumps are okay!
• Use medium heat to prevent burning.
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
