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 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Neutral oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with neutral oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, using a measuring cup for uniform sizes.
Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a pat of butter.
