Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 ¼ cups whole milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.
6. Serve hot with your choice of toppings like syrup, berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
For extra fluff, sift your dry ingredients before mixing.
Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until no flour streaks remain.
Use a hot pan: wait until it’s properly preheated before adding batter.
