Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk Can substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (lumps are okay).
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease lightly.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve warm on a plate with maple syrup, honey, or fruit syrup.
- Add fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas on top and finish with whipped cream or powdered sugar.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are lumps. Allow the skillet to heat properly before pouring in the batter for a nice golden color. If you want thicker pancakes, add more flour. You can also experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
