Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are normal.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Leave plenty of space between each pancake.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm by placing them on a plate covered with foil or in a low-temperature oven.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

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