Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- for greasing skillet Cooking spray or additional unsalted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Mix until just combined; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy—avoid overmixing to prevent dense pancakes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on the other side.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the flannel cakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
