Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 for greasing cooking spray or additional butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still have a few lumps.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 5
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to prevent overlap.
Step 6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of each pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
