Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar.
- Add milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract (if using) to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until just combined—a slightly lumpy batter is okay.
2. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. Serve and Enjoy:
- Keep pancakes warm under a towel while cooking the rest.
- Serve with butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruits for the perfect breakfast!
Notes
- Fluffiest Pancakes: Use fresh baking powder and don’t overmix the batter.
- Thicker Pancakes: Reduce the milk slightly for a thicker batter.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the dry ingredients in advance for a quick morning mix.
