Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix—lumps are okay!
- Preheat & Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
- Flip & Finish: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings!
Notes
- Make Them Extra Fluffy: Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk, and use oil instead of butter.
- Toppings: Try fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
