Instructions
Pancakes
  1. Combine flour, milk, egg, honey, cinnamon and baking powder in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes.

  3. Repeat with remaining batter to make 16 small pancakes about the size of the serving glasses you are going to use.
  4. Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days until ready to assemble the trifle.
