Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup flour 150 g
  • ¼ cup sugar 50 g
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup light beer 236 mL
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract 2 mL

Instructions

  • Dries: In a small bowl, stir together 1 ¼ cup flour, ¼ cup sugar, ¾ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp cinnamon.
    A clear glass bowl filled with flour and a whisk resting inside, placed on a blue tiled surface with empty bowls nearby.
  • Wets: In a separate large bowl, stir together 1 cup light beer, 1 egg, 2 Tbsp oil, and ½ tsp vanilla extract.
    A whisk rests in a glass bowl containing a raw egg and brown liquid mixture on a blue tiled surface.
  • Mix: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined (it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy).
