Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay. Avoid over-mixing.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
Enjoy your homemade pancakes!
