Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk (whole milk or any milk of your choice)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spoon until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy—overmixing can make the pancakes dense.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
