Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy for best fluffiness.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a perfect breakfast.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- You can fold in blueberries or chocolate chips into the batter for added flavor and variety.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm by placing them in a low oven while finishing the remaining batter.
