Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a non-stick pancake griddle or wide flat bottomed skillet to a hair above medium heat (350).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, bran, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon and make a well in the center.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, milk, and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients in to the well at the center of the dry ingredients.

Notes

If the pancakes are golden but seem soft in the middle, let them rest in a low oven for a few more minutes.
