Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 Large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying non-stick spray or butter as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
