Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon additional butter or oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step helps to aerate the flour and mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
In another large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Make sure the egg is completely incorporated into the milk.
Step 3
Melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or using a microwave. Allow it to cool slightly so it doesn't curdle the egg in the batter.
Step 4
Gradually pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients while whisking continuously to combine.
Step 5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps in the batter are okay.
Step 6
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and create fluffy pancakes.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional butter or oil.
Step 8
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid burning.
Step 10
Serve immediately, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Enjoy with your favorite sugar-free toppings such as fresh fruit or a splash of maple syrup alternative.
