Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or additional butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; the batter should still have some small lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense pancakes.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look slightly dry.
Step 7
Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula 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 necessary between batches.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
