Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup and butter.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
