Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy for fluffy pancakes.
- Preheat Griddle or Skillet: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat, ensuring it is hot before cooking to get the perfect golden crust.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat with remaining batter, keep pancakes warm, and serve immediately with butter, syrup, or your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier, more nutritious version.
- Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or other mix-ins to the batter for variety.
