Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 for greasing cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still have a few lumps.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to prevent overlap.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of each pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
