Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 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 until just combined.
  4. Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Using a measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
  6. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  9. Serve them stacked high with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

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