  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Notes

  • Adjust the cinnamon level to taste.
  • Use heavy cream instead of milk in the glaze for a richer flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
