Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  2. 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  3. 1 tablespoon sugar
  4. ½ teaspoon salt
  5. 1 ¼ cups milk
  6. 1 egg
  7. 3 tablespoons melted butter
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  • Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  • Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a pat of butter.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
  • Add-ins: Customize with your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, banana slices, or nuts.
