Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

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, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix until just combined; some lumps are fine, but do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and pour onto the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by placing them on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel or in a low-temperature oven.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
