Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Once hot, drop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve:
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep warm. Serve with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, make sure not to overmix the batter. The key is to leave it a bit lumpy.
- If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- You can add extras like chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas to the batter before cooking for added flavor.
- Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you cook the remaining ones.
