Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with your choice of toppings like butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter. A few lumps are fine.
If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.
To keep pancakes warm while cooking, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C).
