Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir just until blended. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Use the back of a spoon to lightly spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes more.
Repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to regrease the griddle as needed.
Serve hot with your choice of toppings like butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
