Ingredients
UnitsScale
Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
1 1/4cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
Extra butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix (a few lumps are okay).
Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
Cook: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve: Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of choice.
Notes
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
You can fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped bananas for variation.
