Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- nonstick spray or additional butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy but without pockets of dry flour. Do not overmix.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to prevent spreading into each other.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
