3. Add egg to mixture and stir, slowly add in the cinnamon, salt, pepper, and flour if using
4. Turn the stove to high heat and coat the bottom of the pan with oil, wait about 1 minute for oil to get hot.
5. Carefully place large table spoons of mix into the oil with a spatula.

7. Cook for 3 minutes on the opposite side and remove from oil onto a brown paper bag or paper towel to cool.
