Ingredients
- 2/3 cups whole milk room temperature
- 1/3 cup sour cream room temperature
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cups bisquick sifted if desired for even lighter pancakes

Instructions
- Whisk together milk, sour cream, butter, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add in bisquick, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix until *just combined*.
- Set aside for 10 minutes to rest.
- Optional: lightly grease (using cooking spray, oil, ghee, or butter*) a griddle or non-stick pan*, then heat over medium heat.
- Once hot, scoop the batter using a 1/4 cup measuring cup onto the pan, sprinkle with mix-ins (such as chocolate chips) if desired, then cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until browned on the other side, then repeat with remaining batter (reduce heat, if necessary, to avoid over-browning).
