Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or additional butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. There may be a few lumps, but the batter should be thick and pourable.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each hotcake, spacing them evenly apart.
Cook the hotcakes for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look dry.
Flip the hotcakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the hotcakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
