Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, ladle the batter onto the skillet in 1/4 cup portions. Cook until the edges start to dry and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate chips. Enjoy!
Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate chips. You can also add other mix-ins to the batter, such as blueberries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture. Enjoy!
Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine together.
To make the perfect pancakes, you’ll need to make sure that the wet and dry ingredients are combined separately before being mixed together. In one bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together until evenly combined. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter and egg until combined. Then gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently – this will help prevent lumpy pancakes!
Flip when bubbles have formed on the surface, and cook until golden brown on second side.
To ensure your pancakes are cooked perfectly, you should wait until bubbles appear on the surface before flipping them over. Once flipped, allow the pancakes to cook for an additional one to two minutes until golden brown. For optimal results, serve the pancakes immediately after cooking and enjoy with butter and syrup!
