Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Butter or oil for cooking
Directions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
- Heat the Skillet:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
