Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or additional butter (for the skillet)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be sure not to overmix; the batter should be a little lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or a small amount of butter.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space for spreading. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
