Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.75 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Leave space between each pancake to allow for spreading.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel or in a low oven while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve warm with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite topping.
