Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)

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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread it into a circle, if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel or placing them in a 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
