Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. - Combine wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. - Combine wet and dry:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. - Preheat the pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. - Cook the pancakes:
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. - Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
