Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 unit large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 as needed cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring they are well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart so they don’t touch.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
