Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay bacon strips in a single layer. Bake for 15–20 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Gently pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold together until just combined; small lumps are okay.
  5. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly, pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
  6. Transfer pancakes to a warm oven to keep heated while cooking others. Serve stacks of pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup.
