Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder (low-sodium if available)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 unit large egg
- 1.25 cups milk (low-fat or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- as needed neutral cooking oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Set aside the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps in the batter are okay.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a neutral cooking oil or nonstick spray.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour it onto the hot skillet, spacing pancakes a few inches apart.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or unsalted butter.
