Method
- Combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl.
- Melt 1/4 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small heat-safe bowl in the microwave for 10 seconds.
- Pour 1/2 cup whole milk into the melted butter and stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined, leaving small lumps, about 30 seconds.
- Let the batter rest for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small knob of butter; heat until foaming and sizzling.
- Pour half of the batter into the center of the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter following the same cooking times.
Notes
Serve pancakes immediately for the best texture and customize with toppings like berries, syrup, or cinnamon as desired.
