Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1.25 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk them together until well blended.
Step 2
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk, melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly coat the surface with the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruits, syrup, or honey.
