Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently stir until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of choice for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute milk with plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or blueberries to the batter before cooking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.
