Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk (use buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside. - Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Mix just until combined; small lumps are fine (overmixing can make pancakes tough). - Preheat Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Let it melt and spread evenly. - Cook Pancakes:
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown. - Serve and Enjoy:
Stack your pancakes and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
