  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl until well combined.

  4. Add milk and mix until batter is smooth. Let sit until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if batter is too thick.

  5. Spray a griddle with cooking spray and preheat over medium-low heat.

  6. Working in batches, drop 1 to 2 heaping tablespoonfuls onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. 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.
