Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.75 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0 as needed Butter or oil (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.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps—avoid overmixing as it can result in dense pancakes.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5
Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle for each pancake, leaving room for them to spread slightly.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the second side.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, berries, or powdered sugar.
