Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using) until smooth.
- Make the Batter – Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Cook Pancakes – Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Flip & Finish – Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve Warm – Stack and serve with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter — lumps keep pancakes fluffy.
- Let the batter rest 5 minutes for extra lift.
- Cook on medium heat so they brown evenly without burning.
