Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 3.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for greasing the skillet
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 and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are fine.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Step 6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 9
Serve warm with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
