Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil or butter (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the scoop or a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
