Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups Milk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 3 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl to evenly distribute leavening and seasonings for fluffy pancakes.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using to add moisture and richness.
  3. Gently Fold Wet into Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Lumps are okay; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to ensure perfect browning without burning.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking remaining batter. Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix: Stir batter until just combined to keep pancakes tender and airy.
  • Fresh Baking Powder: Ensure your leavening agent is fresh for the best rise.
  • Proper Heat: Use medium heat to avoid burning outside before the inside cooks.
  • Rest the Batter: Let batter sit 5-10 minutes to relax gluten and improve fluffiness.
  • Use Buttermilk: Substitute regular milk with buttermilk for extra tang and lift.
