Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
Step 5
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes carefully 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 keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
