Ingredients:

  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional Add-ins:
    • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
    • 1/2 cup blueberries
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for a warm spice flavor

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. If you’re adding chocolate chips or blueberries, fold them in at this stage.
  4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
  7. Store Leftovers: If you have any leftover pancakes, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast.
