📝 Preparation Steps
1
THE BATTER
2
Melt the butter in a microwave safe dish; set aside to slightly cool.
3
Whisk the crushed cereal, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

4
Warm the milk in a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl in the microwave until lukewarm, not hot (about ⏱️ 60 seconds). (Use a smaller bowl or warm on the stove and transfer to a large mixing bowl if needed). Lukewarm milk prevents lumps when the milk and butter are combined.
5
Whisk the milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla together.

6
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the milk mixture into the well and gently whisk just until no clumps of flour remain, the batter will be thick and lumpy (DON'T over-mix or you won't have soft, fluffy pancakes). Allow the batter to rest for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes.

10
When edges are set and a few bubbles pop on surfaces of the pancake, flip over, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Cook the other side for 1 to 2 additional minutes, until lightly browned and cooked in the middle.
