Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- nonstick cooking spray (or butter)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 1-2 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Allow the pancakes to cool slightly before wrapping them individually in parchment paper for portability if eating on the go.
Serve plain or add a side of syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter for dipping.
