Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Toppings: Fresh fruits, maple syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or nuts (as desired)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This helps to ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed, leading to fluffy pancakes.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
  4. Heat the Pan:
    • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  5. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings—syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast experience!
  7. Enjoy!
    • Gather your loved ones, dig into these fluffy pancakes, and savor the moment. Feel free to get creative with toppings and add-ins for a personalized touch!
