Tortitas tradicionales a la plancha de leche agria con sirope de rollo de canela

Ingredientes

• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (you can also use light. I prefer the taste of dark brown)

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp light corn syrup
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
