Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Mix until smooth — do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly oiled or buttered griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip with a spatula and cook until browned on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite toppings.
