Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based alternative)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or additional butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated skillet to form evenly sized pancakes. Depending on the size of your skillet, you can cook 2–3 pancakes at a time.
Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
