Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray or additional butter for greasing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated 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.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps in the batter are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake, leaving space between each one.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
