Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
