Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
-
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet or griddle, leaving space between each pancake for spreading.
-
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet or griddle as needed.
-
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
