Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.

Mix milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour into flour mixture slowly, while stirring, until batter is combined.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle some honey lightly on pancakes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan before each new batch.
