Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy, but avoid overmixing.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly to form a circle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully using a spatula.
Cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
