Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 3.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for greasing the skillet
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
