Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing the skillet)
• 0 optional toppings (e.g., maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula. Mix until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet to form circles. Leave enough space between pancakes as they will spread slightly.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
