Description
Fluffy, golden-brown vanilla pancakes that are perfect for a cozy breakfast! Topped with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream, these pancakes are sure to make your morning sweeter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2️⃣ Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3️⃣ Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
4️⃣ Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter.
5️⃣ Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes).
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy: Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with syrup, and add your favorite toppings: butter, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar!
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use a ladle or measuring cup to ensure evenly sized pancakes.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F (95°C) while finishing the rest.
