Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or additional butter for cooking
Instructions
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents, which ensures fluffy pancakes.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly. Add the milk and melted butter, and mix until well combined. If you're using vanilla extract, add it to this mixture for added flavor.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter. Over-mixing can lead to dense pancakes.
Preheat the Cooking Surface:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, then flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
