These fluffy, classic pancakes are a timeless breakfast treat. They’re light, airy, and perfect for topping with butter, syrup, or your favorite fruit.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Make the batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips:
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- If the batter is too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of additional milk.
- For a thicker pancake, use 1/3 cup of batter per pancake.
- To make whole wheat pancakes, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
Enjoy your delicious old-fashioned pancakes!
