  2. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the batter, then gently mix to combine without over-mixing.

Serve warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for one day and reheat for 15-20 seconds.
