Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing the skillet)
- 0 optional toppings (e.g., maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula. Mix until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Step 5
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet to form circles. Leave enough space between pancakes as they will spread slightly.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
