Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon additional butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step helps to aerate the flour and mix the dry ingredients evenly.
In another large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Make sure the egg is completely incorporated into the milk.
Melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or using a microwave. Allow it to cool slightly so it doesn't curdle the egg in the batter.
Gradually pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients while whisking continuously to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps in the batter are okay.
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and create fluffy pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid burning.
Serve immediately, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Enjoy with your favorite sugar-free toppings such as fresh fruit or a splash of maple syrup alternative.
