Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 for greasing skillet Cooking spray or additional unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Mix until just combined; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy—avoid overmixing to prevent dense pancakes.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on the other side.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the flannel cakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
