Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon oil or butter for greasing the pan (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the leavening agents to activate and create a fluffier texture.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a teaspoon of butter or oil, if desired.

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle, if necessary.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter, or whipped cream.
