Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; lumps are fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven, if desired.
- Serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure fluffier pancakes.
Customize by adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or herbs for variations.
To reheat leftovers, use the microwave or warm in the oven at 350°F.
