Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
