Best Pancake Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Add wet ingredients:
   Make a well in the center of the dry mix. Pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix; small lumps are okay).
3. Preheat your pan:
   Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the pancakes:
   Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
5. Serve:
   Serve hot with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings!
