Method

In a large bowl, pour the measured flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
Add in the eggs and milk.
Using a whisk or fork, mix until well incorporated and there are no flour lumps left.
Heat up a wide flat pan and pour some oil before frying your first pancake.
Using a serving spoon or ladle, scoop a measure of the pancake batter and spread evenly on the pan.
Cook until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Turn the pancake and cook the flip side as well. If necessary add a bit of cooking oil to avoid sticking.
