Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Some lumps are fine; do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip the pancakes with a spatula.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite pancake toppings.
