Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or additional butter (for the skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be sure not to overmix; the batter should be a little lumpy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or a small amount of butter.
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space for spreading. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
