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 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

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

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula. Mix just until combined; a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix or the pancakes may turn out dense.

Step 4

Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes while you heat the skillet. This helps the pancakes become extra fluffy.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Use a paper towel to spread the oil evenly and remove any excess.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Spread gently into a round shape if needed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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