Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil or butter (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
