Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
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, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix until just combined; some lumps are fine, but do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and pour onto the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if necessary.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by placing them on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel or in a low-temperature oven.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
