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 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula. Mix just until combined; a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix or the pancakes may turn out dense.
Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes while you heat the skillet. This helps the pancakes become extra fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Use a paper towel to spread the oil evenly and remove any excess.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Spread gently into a round shape if needed.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, fruit, or whipped cream.
