Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/4 cups milk (whole milk or any milk of your choice)

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings:

  • Maple syrup

  • Fresh berries

  • Whipped cream

  • Butter

  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prepare the dry ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the baking powder is evenly distributed, which helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.

  • Mix the wet ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense pancakes.

  • Heat the pan:
    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  • Cook the pancakes:
    Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

  • Serve:
    Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while cooking the remaining pancakes. Serve with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Add-ins: You can mix in chocolate chips, blueberries, or banana slices directly into the batter for extra flavor.Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice for a warm, spiced flavor.Whole wheat pancakes: Replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier, more nutritious version.
