Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl to evenly distribute all dry components, which helps avoid clumps and promotes even rising.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth for a velvety batter base.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are fine and help keep the pancakes tender.
- Heat Your Pan or Griddle: Warm a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Maintaining the right temperature is key to prevent burning or flattening the pancakes.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the heated surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Stack the pancakes, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy a decadent, homemade breakfast perfect for sharing.
Notes
- Use fresh baking powder for maximum fluffiness.
- Stir batter just until combined to keep pancakes light and tender.
- Maintain medium heat for even cooking and golden crust.
- Use butter for greasing the pan to add flavor and a beautiful crunch.
- Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to activate the baking powder fully.
